Former Alabama women’s basketball forward Jasmine Walker has signed with the Seattle Storm of the WNBA. After being drafted No. 7 overall in the 2021 draft, Walker spent two seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks. She was recently traded to the Connecticut Sun and released shortly thereafter.
Walker started her college career in 2016 at Florida State, but was with the Seminoles for only one season. She transferred to Alabama in 2017 and stayed in Tuscaloosa through 2021.
She joins a franchise that won a title as recently as 2020, but finished 2022 with a loss in the semifinals to the eventual champions, the Las Vegas Aces.
