The Seattle Storm’s season came to an end after being defeated in the first round of the playoffs by the back-to-back WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces. Since then, several players have traveled abroad to continue playing.

Storm players Gabby Williams and rookie Nika Muhl were among the players who opted to play abroad during their WNBA offseason.

Williams plays for Turkish club Fenerbahce, while Muhl plays for top rivals Besiktas. On Thursday, the two teams met in the EuroLeague SuperCup and a gruesome scene took place.
