Ezi Magbegor · Already four games into a WNBA-record nine-game homestand before the Chicago Sky’s arrival, the Seattle Storm and their No. 2-ranked shot blocker certainly weren’t short on chances to utilize the phrase, “Not in my house.” Yet, in the event that they hadn’t, Ezi Magbegor provided them with a few more opportunities through a historic display. With her rim-protection message already drafted and delivered after an opening-quarter, three-block demonstration, Magbegor embarks on a new journey, setting position in the paint before swatting Marina Mabrey’s floater away like a fly at a barbecue, setting up her teammate’s transition score thereafter. Rightfully motivated after being overlooked on the 2024 All-Star Game ballot, Seattle’s gifted center parlayed that emotion into an extraordinary performance on July 5, 2024. With four fourth-quarter rejections to later arrive, Magbegor left the narrow loss with 13 points (joining the other four starters in double-figures), eight rebounds, one steal, and eight blocks, attaching her name to an exclusive club of just 12 players to record at least eight rejections in a single game. · State of Mint
