Seattle Storm guard Natisha Hiedeman expresses interest in US Open ball kid role

Seattle Storm guard Natisha Hiedeman expressed an interest in working as a ball kid at the US Open. Hiedeman posted on social media this week asking about the qualifications required to participate in the tournament next year. She noted that she played tennis during high school and could potentially fit the role into her schedule after her playing career concludes. Hiedeman is currently in the midst of a productive season with the Storm, where she leads the team in assists and ranks second in scoring with 15.4 points per game. While her professional basketball duties typically overlap with the tournament schedule, she remains under contract for one more year with the Storm. The guard has garnered attention for her high school tennis background while navigating the ongoing WNBA season during a league-wide break for the FIBA World Cup.
