Sources confirm that Katie Lou Samuelson signed with the Seattle Storm for one year, $90,000, unprotected. So she gets a little above the veteran minimum from the Storm, and if she sticks all season will ultimately make more than she would have on her original deal in Indiana. #WNBA - ThreadSky

I have us with $91,485 left for the 11th and final roster spot, assuming Li, Wheeler, the #2 pick, and everyone signed for above the minimum make the team. Does that look right to you? (Hat tip @herhoopstats.com, which continues to be awesome.) #WNBA

Exact numbers a bit complicated by Horston and Muhl still being involved, but somewhere around that. It basically looks like an 11-player roster with enough spare room for those 11 to be whoever they want when it comes to the end of the bench options.

They will just suspend both of them and that means they hit for zero, right? If they only suspend one then the other eats the 11th spot on the roster, right? (I hate that they won't get paid, but they don't seem to have much of a choice to my eye.)

Or do we not know for sure that Nika is out for the whole season?

I imagine they'll both be suspended yes, but until they do it the numbers are still there and have to be taken into account in my head (and I'm yet to find or be told of a rule that stops them suspending multiple players who got hurt in other leagues). And yes, if they're not suspended, they count.

Sure looks like they have 10 they like and it will be an open competition for the 11th spot between 3 3rd round picks, Mackenzie Holmes, Zia Cooke, Brianna Fraser, and anyone else they bring in.
