Hey there, time traveller!

Gabby Williams is back with the Seattle Storm.
Williams, who helped France win a silver medal at the Olympics earlier this month, signed a rest-of-season contract with the Storm on Tuesday. She will start play next week when the Storm return from their current road trip. It’s her third season with Seattle after being acquired in a trade with Los Angeles prior to the start of the 2022 season.
“We’re thrilled to have Gabby back with the Storm,” said coach Noelle Quinn. “Gabby is a dynamic player who brings tremendous versatility. She’s a two-way player that can guard multiple positions and has a strong offensive game; given her familiarity with our system, we know she can have an immediate impact. Gabby’s Olympic performance showcased her world-class talent, and we’re excited to have her join us as we push for the playoffs.”
Williams is coming off a stellar performance in the Paris Games, averaging 15.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.8 steals for France. She had 19 points in the gold medal game, including five in the final few seconds, to almost pull off the upset of the U.S.
Williams was stellar in 2022 starting all 36 games while averaging 7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
“I’m so excited to be joining the Storm for the rest of the season,” said Williams. “I feel more than ready to finally return to Seattle. I’ve missed the organization, my teammates and the fans so much. I absolutely can’t wait to come back and finish the season strong.”
Seattle (17-10) is currently in fifth place in the WNBA standings entering Tuesday.
She re-signed with the team midway through the 2023 season after missing the first part of the year because of an injury. She averaged 8.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 10 games that season.
