Suffers torn ACL The Storm announced Thursday that Magbegor suffered a torn ACL during the FIBA World Cup and will miss the remainder of the season.

Impact Magbegor went down with an apparent lower-leg injury in the first quarter of Australia's win over Italy on Wednesday, and she's since been diagnosed with a torn ACL. It's possible that the 27-year-old will be sidelined for the majority of the 2027 season as well. With Magbegor done for the year, Awa Fam, Stefanie Dolson and Mackenzie Holmes will all be asked to help pick up the slack for the Storm.

Suffers injury Wednesday Magbegor suffered an apparent lower-leg injury with Australia in Wednesday's FIBA World Cup game against Italy, Alexa Philippou of ESPN.com reports.

Leads Australia to another win Magbegor finished with 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes in Australia's 87-71 FIBA World Cup win over Turkey on Sunday.

Impact Magbegor had a team high in scoring to lead Australia to its second victory of the 2026 FIBA World Cup. The 27-year-old has appeared in only 14 regular-season games for the Storm during the 2026 campaign due to injuries, and she also hasn't played the best. However, Magbegor has looked good during the 2026 FIBA World Cup, averaging 16.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 60.0 percent from the field over 24.9 minutes per game in two appearances.

Productive in loss Magbegor closed Sunday's 90-74 loss to the Sparks with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 28 minutes.

Impact Magbegor has been a relatively consistent source of blocks recently, but she also generated a season-high three steals during Sunday's defeat. Across her nine appearances since reclaiming a starting role, she's averaged 7.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 blocks in 24.0 minutes per game.

Struggles in loss Magbegor logged two points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 92-70 loss to Dallas.

Impact Magbegor wasn't able to take advantage of her sizable workload in the loss. She was playing well coming into Sunday's matchup, averaging 15.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in her previous two games.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up pace defensively Magbegor notched 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and five blocks over 25 minutes during Sunday's 82-80 loss to the Sky.

Impact Magbegor's offensive totals were very nice, but she was really a deterrent at the defensive end. Her five blocks were easily her most of the season, as she entered play with just nine total blocks in her first 10 games this season. It was her best block total since she also swatted five shots in Minnesota on Aug. 28, 2025.

Questionable against Chicago Magbegor is questionable for Monday's game against the Sky due to a facial injury.

Cleared from injury report Magbegor (face) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Dream.

Impact After missing nearly three weeks with a facial fracture, Magbegor is poised to return to action Friday. She'll likely have some form of minutes restriction in her first game back, but Stefanie Dolson could still see less playing time in the frontcourt with Magbegor back in the fold.

Storm forward Ezi Magbegor's out again after suffering facial fracture Seattle Storm forward Ezi Mabegor has a facial injury. Here's the latest on what we know about the WNBA All-Star's status.

JULY 13 • USATODAY.COM

Could miss 'weeks' Magbegor (face) was diagnosed with a facial fracture and will be "reevaluated in the next couple of weeks," Percy Allen of the Seattle Times reports.

Impact Although it wasn't specified how long Magbegor will be sidelined, it appears she will miss a significant amount of time, considering she might not be evaluated again for at least two weeks. The 26-year-old, who missed the start of the 2026 campaign because of a foot injury, appeared in only four regular-season games since returning. In those contests, she averaged a career-low 3.5 points while adding 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.8 blocks over 13.5 minutes per contest. While Magbegor didn't see much action before her latest injury, her absence should open up more minutes for Dominique Malonga and Stefanie Dolson.

Ruled out for Sunday Magbegor (face) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mystics.

Impact Magbegor is dealing with a facial injury and will miss Sunday's contest after playing in each of Seattle's last four outings. With the 26-year-old sidelined, Dominique Malonga and Stefanie Dolson are candidates for increased playing time.

Low workload in loss Magbegor finished with two points (1-3 FG) and five rebounds over eight minutes during Thursday's 89-78 loss to the Dream.

Impact Magbegor continues to be used sparingly by the Storm. Across her four appearances, she's averaging 3.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 13.5 minutes per contest.

JULY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scores eight in season debut Magbegor recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 90-67 loss to the Mercury.

Impact Magbegor played with a minutes restriction in her season debut Thursday, but she delivered an efficient performance from the floor despite the loss. She operated as a full-time starter in each of the past three seasons, and it certainly seems possible that she'll reclaim a starting role as she regains her conditioning. 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 games last year.

Good to go Thursday Magbegor (foot) will play Thursday against the Mercury.

Impact Magbegor has been cleared to make her season debut after recovering from a foot injury. She's expected to be on a minutes restriction in her first appearance of the 2026 campaign, per Stephen PridGeon-Garner of PHNX Mercury. Magbegor's return to the court could eventually result in fewer minutes for Katie Lou Samuelson and Jordan Horston, but it will likely take at least a few games for the 26-year-old to get her conditioning back.
