Storm Waive No. 14 Pick Taina Mair

The Seattle Storm have waived rookie No. 14 overall pick Taina Mair, per the WNBA transaction wire. Mair is the first 2026 draft pick that the Storm has waived.

Waiving Mair brings the Storm down to 15 players, which still puts them three away from reaching the final 12-player roster limit. The deadline for cutting to 12 players is on Thursday, May 7, before the team’s season opener the next day.

Mair is somewhat of a surprising cut, though it’s still possible the Storm are planning to try and bring her back in a developmental roster spot. Seattle will have to wait and see if Mair clears waivers before they can try and re-sign her.
