Gabby Williams is on her way back to the WNBA. The star forward made a name for herself in Paris at the Summer Olympics as part of the French women's national team. She almost sent the gold medal match against the U.S. into overtime with a buzzer-beater where her foot was on the 3-point line.



Her summer success has led to a contract with the Seattle Storm for the remainder of the 2024 WNBA season. Williams previously played for Seattle in 2022 and 2023.
