Sveta! Sveta! Sveta!
Svetlana Abrosimova is officially returning to the Storm!!
Even better, she should be available to play in the game against New York tomorrow.
As usual with this sort of announcement, the Storm website has two articles.
A press release: "Svetlana Abrosimova, a member of the Seattle Storm's 2010 WNBA championship team, has signed with the Storm as a free agent, Head Coach and General Manager Brian Agler announced today. Abrosimova met the team on the East Coast and is expected to suit up for the Storm's next game at 1:00 p.m. Saturday against New York at the Prudential Center in New Jersey."
And an article: "The process [of fitting into the team] is admittedly awkward, but it helps that the core of the team is the same as the 2010 championship team on which Abrosimova played a key role as top perimeter reserve. Abrosimova also has experience playing with newcomers Katie Smith (in Minnesota) and Ann Wauters (in Russia). As a result, Agler expects Abrosimova's integration to the roster to go smoothly."
Oh, and Ped wanted to hear how she pronounces her name. Back in 2010 I posted some links, and one of them was to a video of her for her Russian team. She introduces herself right at the beginning. (My favorite part is when she lists her nicknames ~:12, because she has to switch to English for one of them.):
