In their 24
The Storm made their debut on May 31, 2000,
Despite limited appearances for injured star players Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird, the team qualified for the playoffs in the following three seasons but never advanced beyond the first round.[22] The Storm failed to qualify for the playoffs in the 2014 and 2015 seasons, but earned the top pick in the subsequent WNBA draft for two consecutive years;[1] Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd were chosen in those drafts and both won the Rookie of the Year Award in their debut seasons.[23] The team returned to the playoffs in subsequent years but were again eliminated in the first round; under new head coach Dan Hughes, the Storm won their third championship in 2018 with a three-game shutout of the Washington Mystics.[22] After a second-round exit in the 2019 playoffs—attributed to the absence of Bird and Stewart—the team won their fourth championship against the Las Vegas Aces in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.[1][6] The Storm were eliminated from the 2021 playoffs after one game and the 2022 playoffs in the second round;[10] the team did not qualify for the playoffs in the 2023 season.[24]
