Ezi Magbegor

The Storm announced Monday that Magbegor is expected to miss at least 6-8 weeks due to a right foot injury, Alexa Philippou of ESPN.com reports.

Magbegor sustained her injury while playing for Australia in the 2026 FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers, and she appears to be on track to miss the start of the WNBA regular season as a result. The 26-year-old has played a prominent role in Seattle's frontcourt across the past several seasons, most recently averaging 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.1 assists in 27.3 minutes per game while starting every regular-season matchup in 2025, while her absence to begin the 2026 season could lead to increased opportunities for Dominique Malonga, Stefanie Dolson and rookie Awa Fam.
