Svetlana Abrosimova will not stay at Seattle Storm

Small forward Svetlana Abrosimova refused to sign a contract with Seattle Storm wishing to take a break after playing for the national team and before the start of the season, which she will spend at UGMK.

«They really wanted me back in Seattle. The club has offered me a new contract and was waiting for my decision on the national team. When I said that I’m going to the European Championship, I was even allowed to skip the first half of the WNBA season and come after the tournament in Poland, but still refused. It is really hard to live without any rest at all. From the European Championships to Seattle, then at once to the UGMK. The very beginning of the season, and you’re already tired. I don’t want that,» said Abrosimova as quoted by Sport-Express.
