Storm Adds Veteran Center Stefanie Dolson After All-Star Exodus
The Seattle Storm are moving fast to plug the holes left by departing All-Stars. The team reportedly signed 34-year-old center Stefanie Dolson on Saturday afternoon, according to WNBA insider Khristina Williams. This is the kind of veteran presence the Storm need right now.
Building Depth in the Pivot
Dolson, a 6-foot-5 center entering her 13th WNBA season, will share the load with second-year center Dominique Malonga. Last season with the Washington Mystics, Dolson averaged 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds while playing 15.1 minutes per game. She started 14 of 43 games, so she knows how to contribute whether she's in the lineup or coming off the bench. That kind of flexibility matters when you're rebuilding on the fly.

Dolson isn't some random depth signing either. She was the No. 6 overall pick out of Connecticut in 2014 and has serious hardware on her resume. She was a WNBA All-Star in both 2015 and 2017, and she won a championship with the Chicago Sky in 2021. Over her career, she's also played for the New York Liberty alongside stints with Washington and Chicago.
The Storm also signed veteran guard Natisha Hiedeman to a two-year deal worth $1.5 million, per Her Hoops Stats. So Seattle is bringing in experience on multiple fronts as they look to rebuild after losing talent this offseason.
What's Next
With Dolson and Hiedeman now in the fold, the Storm have some veteran anchors to build around. Can they get back to contention quickly? That's the question facing Seattle fans this season.
