The 2025 season will consist of 44 regular season games played against 12 other teams. The WNBA increased its number of regular season games and announced that the 2025 WNBA Finals would be a best-of-seven series.[2] The WNBA players' union announced on October 21, 2024, that they had opted out of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) in place with the league, which expires at the end of the 2025 season.[3]
In November 2024, the Storm's ownership hired a law firm to investigate allegations of player mistreatment by the coaching staff.[4][5][6] The Storm announced there were no violations found as a result of the investigation. Shortly after the results were published, it was announced that Jewell Loyd had requested a trade.[7]
The Storm did not have any players taken during the expansion draft held for the Golden State Valkyries on December 6, 2024.[8]
