SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Storm forward Katie Lou Samuelson is expected to miss the 2025 WNBA season due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee, the team announced Saturday.

Samuelson, 27, suffered the injury during practice on Thursday, the team said.

The UConn graduate has dealt with other injuries in her basketball career, including a broken foot, an ankle injury and a back injury.
