Seattle Storm sign six-time all-star Skylar Diggins-Smith

The Seattle Storm have signed free agent point guard Skylar Diggins-Smith, the team announced Thursday.

Diggins-Smith is a six-time all-WNBA selection and six-time all-star.

“Joining the Seattle Storm is the ideal next step in my basketball journey. The organization’s dedication to its players and the progression of the league is commendable,” Diggins-Smith said in a team-released statement. “I’m laser-focused for the upcoming season. Stepping onto the court alongside Jewell [Loyd], benefiting from the leadership of [head coach] Noelle Quinn and feeling the energy of the Seattle Storm fans is a combination that I am confident will lead to success.” 

Diggins-Smith spent the past three seasons with the Phoenix Mercury. Last season she averaged 19.7 points and 5.5 assists per game.

The 33-year-old guard was drafted third overall by the Tulsa Shock in the 2013 WNBA Draft.
