“From the start, it was a priority for us to bring Ezi back to Seattle. She means a great deal to this organization and to our city,” said Storm General Manager Talisa Rhea. “On the court, she has a real impact on the defensive end with her ability to cover ground, protect the rim and disrupt plays. She anchors us. What’s been just as impressive is her growth and the way she’s expanding her game and her voice. This next chapter is about fully stepping into that. We believe Ezi is one of the most impactful two-way players in the league, and we’re excited to keep building with her at the center of it.”

Magbegor, a 6-foot-4 forward/center, reached several career milestones during the 2025 season, surpassing 1,000 career rebounds and recording her 350th career block to move into second place on the Storm’s all-time blocks list. On June 3, she swatted five shots in just 1:50 of playing time, setting a WNBA record for the shortest amount of time between a player’s first and fifth blocks. Magbegor became the only player in league history to record 5+ blocks and 5+ assists with less than 20 minutes of play on June 17 and ended the regular season at No. 22 on the WNBA all-time blocks list with 354 career blocks. She set the Storm’s single season blocks record with 96 swats and averaged 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and shot 49.3% from the field.
