Zia Cooke

Cooke saw a relatively consistent role off the bench early in the 2025 campaign, but she fell out of the rotation in the second half of the season and was absent from the final two games of the Storm's first-round playoff series. Over 26 regular-season appearances, she averaged 3.5 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 10.0 minutes per game. Cooke hasn't carved out consistent usage over her first three seasons in the WNBA, and she could seek out some other opportunities during the offseason as a reserve player.

Cooke was accurate in her brief appearance, and her plus-10 rating was easily the best among any Storm player in the lopsided loss. The 24-year-old has made the most of her scant playing time lately, averaging 6.0 points per game in the past three outings despite playing just 8.0 minutes per appearance.

Cooke played in 26 games for the Storm during the 2025 season, averaging 3.3 points and 0.5 assists while shooting 38.2 percent from beyond the arc. She's likely to have a depth role at the end of the bench for Seattle.

Zia Cooke signed a Rest-of-Season Contract with the Seattle Storm.

Cooke has handled a strict reserve role in Seattle this year, and she'll now hope to latch onto another team elsewhere following Tuesday's trade. Across her 24 appearances in 2025, Cooke has averaged 3.3 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 10.4 minutes per game.
