Alicante-born center Awa Fam has made an impressive debut in the WNBA, establishing herself in the starting lineup for the Seattle Storm just months after concluding her time with Valencia Basket.

The young athlete from Alicante, who was selected third overall in the draft last April, has expressed her gratitude for the warm welcome at the Seattle franchise. Despite the rapid transition, Fam has highlighted the calm with which she is facing this new professional challenge in the United States.
Having played nine games, the last five as a starter, the player remains grounded. Fam noted that the most special moment of her first few weeks was sharing the court with her idol, A'ja Wilson, during a match against the Las Vegas Aces on June 8th.
Beyond her adaptation to the American league, the center is already looking ahead to the FIBA World Cup, which will take place in Germany this September. For Fam, representing the Spanish national team is a dream she hopes to fulfill as the highlight of an unforgettable year.
