Ezi Magbegor’s defensive presence was a critical component in the Seattle Storm earning its first win of the 2023 WNBA season. After falling into a 21-point hole in the first half against the Los Angeles Sparks, the Storm quickly rallied and Magbegor got to work keeping the score close as she switched on to Jordin Canada and landed a forceful rejection on a driving layup attempt to keep the game tied in the third quarter. The fourth-year center would later put the game away with a clutch rejection in the closing seconds of regulation, and Magbegor’s 13 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks were vital in the Storm’s 66-63 victory on June 6, 2023 · Jun 7, 2023
