    Back in February, the Seattle Storm signed WNBA veteran Skylar Diggins-Smith as a free agent.

    Now, WNBA fans are getting their first look at the six-time All-Star in her new uniform.

    Diggins-Smith posed for a photoshoot on Tuesday, capturing the attention of WNBA fans around the league.

    "@SkyDigg4 lookin’ good in the green and yellow for the @seattlestorm," the WNBA wrote on X.

    "I feel the work through the photo opt! This season is gonna be incredible," one fan replied.

    "My FAVE I’m looking forward to her return back to the court. That @seattlestorm uniform is looking really good on her. Let’s get it," another said.

    "The best PG in the league is back," another added.

    Before there was Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, there was Skylar Diggins. Following her superstar collegiate career with Notre Dame, Diggins was selected by the Tulsa Shock with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft.

    After six seasons with Tulsa/Dallas, Diggins-Smith was traded to Phoenix in 2020. She posted career-best numbers in 2022, averaging 19.7 points, 5.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

    She missed the entire 2023 WNBA season after giving birth to her second child.

    “Joining the Seattle Storm is the ideal next step in my basketball journey. The organization’s dedication to its players and the progression of the league is commendable,” Diggins-Smith said after her signing earlier this year. “I’m laser-focused for the upcoming season. Stepping onto the court alongside Jewell, benefiting from the leadership of Noelle Quinn and feeling the energy of the Seattle Storm fans is a combination that I am confident will lead to success.”
