Ezi Magbegor out for the season, per ESPN’s injury feed: the 20.4 minutes the Storm have to replace

The read

Ezi Magbegor played every one of the Storm’s last five games — 25.4 minutes a night, five starts — so ESPN’s Out (lower leg) listing removes a role the Storm have not yet had to replace in the window we can observe. The betting question is who takes those minutes, and no box score answers it yet.

The listing

The listing: ESPN’s WNBA injury feed carries Ezi Magbegor as Out with a lower leg injury, last updated Sep 10 at 2:26 PM ET, marked out for the rest of the season. That is ESPN’s status, not the league’s official injury report. Publisher coverage of her injury in the source wire: CBS Sports on Sep 10 (“Ezi Magbegor tears ACL at World Cup, is out for remainder of WNBA season: What it means for the Storm”) and ESPN on Sep 10 (“Storm's Ezi Magbegor suffers torn ACL at women's FIBA World Cup”).

Her role and the rotation

Her 2026 regular season in the ESPN game log: 14 games, 6.9 points, 4 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 20.4 minutes. Over her last 10 of those games she averaged 8.2 points in 23.1 minutes.

The Storm are 3-11 in the 14 games she has played and 5-21 in the 26 she has not. A split like that mixes opponents, dates and every other lineup change, so it describes the season rather than measuring her.

In the Storm’s last five games she started five and played 25.4 minutes a night. The healthy players with the heaviest minutes in that window are Flau'jae Johnson (27.8 min), Dominique Malonga (27.4 min) and Zia Cooke (17.8 min); how her minutes divide among them is not yet established.

She is not the team’s only listing: ESPN’s feed also carries Katie Lou Samuelson (Out), Jade Melbourne (Day-To-Day), Awa Fam (Out) and Natisha Hiedeman (Out).

The Seattle Storm are 8-32, the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, 23 games back, 2-8 over their last 10, scoring 82.9 a game and allowing 88.2.

The market

The next price: in PropBetEdge’s latest capture for LV at SEA (Sep 17), Aces are 8.5-point favorites and the total sits at 173.5. With the bookmaker margin removed, the market’s consensus makes the Storm a 24% winner — a market benchmark, not a PropBetEdge projection.

That capture (Sep 11, 6:00 PM ET, 9 books) was taken one day after the feed’s update, so the listing was public when the price was set.

What matters next

What to watch: the Storm’s next game, LV at SEA on Thursday, September 17; the first box score without her, which is the first real evidence of who takes her minutes; and player-prop lines, captured only inside 36 hours of tip.
