She appeared in all 44 regular-season games in 2025, during which she averaged 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.1 assists in 27.3 minutes per game.

Seattle Storm forward Ezi Magbegor will miss 6 to 8 weeks with a right foot injury

The Seattle Storm say forward Ezi Magbegor will be sidelined for at least six to eight weeks because of a right foot injury

APRIL 20 • Associated Press

Facing multi-week absence 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.

Impact 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.

Re-signs with Storm Magbegor re-signed with the Storm, Alexa Philippou of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The terms of the deal haven't been disclosed, although it comes after Seattle extended a core qualifying offer Tuesday. Magbegor has spent her entire career with the Storm after the team selected her as the No. 12 overall pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft. In 206 regular-season appearances, the 26-year-old has averaged 9.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 blocks across 25.3 minutes.

Extended core qualifying offer The Storm extended a core qualifying offer to Magbegor on Tuesday.

Impact Magbegor is set to receive a one-year deal worth the supermax if she accepts the offer. However, the two sides could still negotiate a sign-and-trade elsewhere. The 26-year-old center has spent all six years of her career with the Storm and is an elite defender. Over 44 regular-season games in 2025, she averaged 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 2.1 assists and 0.7 steals in 27.3 minutes per contest.

Decent results in Game 3 Magbegor ended with nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Thursday's 74-73 loss to Las Vegas.

Impact Magbegor was limited to single digits in the scoring column for a fifth consecutive game Thursday, but she had decent production across the board during the narrow loss. The 26-year-old's production took a hit during her sixth professional season, as she averaged 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.1 assists in 27.3 minutes per game while starting in all 44 regular-season matchups. Although she maintained a starting role over rookie Dominique Malonga throughout the season, Magbegor will be an unrestricted free agent this winter and could seek out other opportunities.

Limited production in defeat Magbegor supplied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Sunday's 102-77 Game 1 loss to Las Vegas.

Impact Magbegor had limited output for the Storm late in the regular season, and that continued to begin the first round of the playoffs Sunday. She matched her second-lowest shot volume of the season during the loss and has now totaled just 10 points over her last three appearances. She'll have to attempt to bounce back Tuesday if the Storm hope to avoid elimination.

Struggles with shot Friday Magbegor had two points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and three blocks across 31 minutes during Friday's 84-76 loss to New York.

Impact Magbegor was an asset defensively with three blocks and was pretty active on the glass as well. However, she would've ended with a better fantasy line hadn't she struggled so much from the floor. This has been a negative trend for the veteran forward. She's failed to score in double digits in all but three of her 16 appearances since the beginning of August.

Swats three shots in home loss Magbegor ended Monday's 91-85 loss to Los Angeles with 11 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three blocks across 31 minutes.

Impact Magbegor was solid in all facets of the game, shooting accurately, while helping out in a number of other categories. Most importantly, though, she had the three blocks, and she now has at least two swats in five straight games. She is averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 3.0 assists per game across the past four appearances.

Fills stat sheet vs. Chicago Magbegor recorded 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 35 minutes in Saturday's 79-69 win over the Sky.

Impact Even though Magbegor wasn't the leading scorer for the Storm in this game and didn't really shoot the ball all that well, she still found a way to deliver a solid fantasy line with her two-way contributions. The 13-point haul might not have turned a lot of heads, but it was her best scoring tally since the All-Star break.

Swats five shots in victory Magbegor posted eight points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and five blocks across 31 minutes during Thursday's 93-79 win over the Lynx.

Impact Magbegor made her presence felt at the rim, where she tied her best mark of the season by racking up five blocks. Her production on the offensive end of late has also been solid to say the least, posting an efficient 17-for-25 performance from the field over her last five appearances.

AUGUST 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records three blocks in loss Magbegor finished Tuesday's 95-75 loss to the Fever with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 23 minutes.

Impact Magbegor was pretty accurate from the field again, but foul trouble continues to limit her playing time. She has posted a strong 73.7 percentage (14-19 FG) from the field across the past four appearances, while averaging 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 assists per game during the span. She has at least two blocks in three of the past four outings, and five of the past seven contests.

Swats four shots in win Magbegor posted 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 94-88 win over the Sky.

Impact Magbegor was one of five Storm players to score double-digit points, reaching double figures for the first time since July 28. The 26-year-old center also stuffed the stat sheet on the defensive end, recording a game-high mark in blocks. She has now swatted multiple shots in three of her last four appearances.

Fills up stat sheet in win Magbegor accumulated seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 80-78 win over the Dream.

Impact Magbegor got the job done defensively, recording game-high totals in steals and blocks. The veteran center has racked up three or more blocks in 10 games during the 2025 campaign and averages 2.1 per game, which is just below her career high (2.2).
