Wheeler suited up in 39 of the Indiana Fever's 40 regular season games last year, making two starts in her 10th season. She averaged 3.6 points, 1.8 assists and 1.4 rebounds on 41% shooting. Looking for an expanded role, Wheeler inked a deal with a new team ahead of the 2025 WNBA season.

On Wednesday, Erica Wheeler announced the latest stop of her lengthy WNBA career. Entering her 11th WNBA season, Wheeler will suit up for the Seattle Storm after landing a one-year deal.

The Storm signed Wheeler to a deal worth $78,831 as Seattle continues its busy offseason. The front office has wasted no time building up its roster, making a plethora of deals ahead of the 2025 season.

In addition to the Wheeler signing, Seattle also signed rookie Mackenzie Holmes, who missed her entire rookie campaign following a knee injury. They also traded for veteran guard Lexie Brown from the LA Sparks. In the deal, Seattle gave up two second-round picks, bolstering their frontcourt with the veteran acquisition.

The addition of Erica Wheeler fits the billing of veteran leadership, giving the WNBA veteran a shot on the fifth team of her career.
