The Seattle Storm enter their final road game of a grueling five-game stretch against the Indiana Fever with a depleted roster and a mission to reverse a three-game losing streak.
Her limited availability has hampered the Storm's ability to establish a consistent defensive identity.
The loss of Magbegor’s 4-game sample size of health makes this assessment more difficult, forcing Raman to evaluate the synergy between Malonga and Dolson under duress.
Without a healthy Ezi Magbegor to anchor the paint, Seattle has allowed high shooting percentages in the restricted area.
Given that Indiana is entering the first game of a back-to-back set, coaching staff may choose to rest one or both stars as a precautionary measure.
The Seattle Storm confirm Ezi Magbegor remains sidelined with a facial fracture as they prepare for a high-stakes meeting with the Indiana Fever.
