Ezi Magbegor pays tribute to Australian WNBA pioneers after signing a lucrative contract

Ezi Magbegor, a WNBA star, recently signed a three-year contract with the Seattle Storm worth an estimated AUD 1.8 million per year, making her one of the highest-paid Australian female athletes. After celebrating this major milestone with her family in Melbourne, she expressed gratitude for the support she has received throughout her career. Magbegor, who won a WNBA championship in 2020 and has competed in two Olympic Games, is now preparing for the new WNBA season starting May 9, while also looking ahead to the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in September. She is also excited about the return of her compatriot Jade Melbourne to the team and the growing opportunities for Australian players in the league.
