Storm Desperately Need Champion Awa Fam Ready to Roll

Awa Fam, the Seattle Storm’s No. 3 overall pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, will be joining her new team as a champion. 

Fam and Valencia, the team she has played for in Spain since 2021, won the Liga Feminina Endesa Championship on Sunday, May 17, defeating Casademont Zaragoza 68-67 on a buzzer-beater layup.

It wasn’t her best game, but Fam totaled six points on two 3-pointers and added four rebounds, one assist and a steal.

Valencia’s season is what has been keeping Fam, 19,  from joining the Storm, who are currently 1-2 ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Indiana Fever (1-2). Fam will still have to get to Seattle and potentially get a short rest before she can get on the court for the Storm this season.
