This was a special opportunity to do just that,” said Seattle Storm GM Talisa Rhea. “AC is the ultimate competitor and has tremendous impact on the court and off. We can’t wait for that to return to the Emerald City.”  

“I’m really excited about coming back to Seattle where it all started! The organization that gave me a chance in this league. The fans that embraced me from day 1. The city that holds so many memories for me and my family. I can’t wait to get on the court with my teammates and get to work. Seattle, WE’RE BAAAAAACK,” said Clark.

While in Seattle, Clark was just as impactful in the community and played a pivotal role in the startig the organization’s annual toy drive benefiting Seattle Children’s Hospital.  

“Alysha’s ability to influence the game on both ends of the court is rare. She is an experienced leader and brings an unmatched level of defensive strength and skill. Not to mention, she’s won three championship titles, so she knows what it takes to compete and win,” said Storm Head Coach Noelle Quinn.  “Her connection with Seattle is special, and I know our fans and community are excited to welcome her back.”
