Updated Aug 30, 12:51 AM CDTSamuelson holds Seattle's leading reserve-forward role
Katie Lou Samuelson has the strongest reserve path to a major frontcourt workload Sunday after playing through the finish of Seattle's win over Toronto. She entered midway through the first quarter, logged 25.2 competitive minutes across all four periods and closed the 90–78 victory with eight points, six rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks. Awa Fam's contract suspension leaves Seattle with one fewer frontcourt option, reinforcing Samuelson's role behind starters Jordan Horston, Dominique Malonga and Ezi Magbegor. The exact split can still shift with matchup and lineup needs, but Wednesday's workload was more than a brief spacing stint.
