Former IU All-American Mackenzie Holmes was waived Monday by the Seattle Storm.

Holmes had nine points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots in a 79-59 preseason win against the Connecticut Sun on May 4.

The Storm also waived forward Brianna Fraser and guard Serena Sundell on Monday.

Holmes, 24, was a third-round pick by the Storm in the 2024 WNBA draft but did not play in the 2024 WNBA season after undergoing knee surgery. She spent the 2024-25 season in Bloomington as a graduate manager.

The Gorham, Maine, native finished her IU career with 147 games played over five seasons. She is the program’s all-time leading scorer with 2,530 points and also ranks first in field goals made (1,043), field goal percentage (63.9) and games won (123).

Holmes led the team to four NCAA tournament runs in her career, including a Sweet Sixteen in 2024. She averaged a team-high of 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in her final season at IU.

She earned unanimous All-Big Ten first Team, All-Big Ten defensive team, USWBA and AP All-American selections in the 2023-24 season.

Over her five-year career, Holmes earned eight All-American selections and became the player in program history to earn first team All-America honors.
