The WNBA season is surging towards the playoffs, so it’s the perfect time to check in on the league’s “Canada Club” for an update on how the stars of Canadian basketball are fairing against the best of the best in women’s basketball.
Kia Nurse, G, Seattle Storm (Hamilton, Ontario)
Nurse’s first season with the Storm was never going to be all sunshine and rainbows, with the team going through a rebuild after the departure of basketball royalty Sue Bird and long-time feature Breanna Stewart. Seattle currently sit fifth in the West and 10th in the league with a record of 9-21, but they are on a two-game win streak with a chance to extend it to a season-high 3 games tonight against the Minnesota Lynx.
