Seattle Storm Earns Unclutchy Award for Poor Performance
By Editor • August 14, 2026 • 1 min read
The Seattle Storm has been officially recognized for their struggles this WNBA season, receiving the inaugural Unclutchy Award from Defector for their exceptional ability to falter in crucial moments. With a dismal record of 7-28, the Storm lost 14 out of 16 games defined as 'clutch'—the last five minutes of a game within a five-point margin.
While the team has potential, particularly with promising young player Awa Fam, who was drafted third overall, their inconsistency has been evident. Fam, a 19-year-old forward, has shown shooting ability, making 35 percent of her three-point attempts this season, though the team's overall performance has left much to be desired.
