Seattle's Dominique Malonga Ruled Out With Concussion for Fever Game

The setback thins a frontcourt already missing starter Ezi Magbegor.

Overview

  • ESPN's Kareem Copeland reported that Dominique Malonga will miss Sunday's road game against the Indiana Fever with a concussion.
  • USA TODAY reported the team had not submitted an official injury list at the time of its update, leaving questions about Seattle's available bigs.
  • Malonga has been one of Seattle's top early performers with about 16 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, including a 21-point night against the Toronto Tempo.
  • After that Toronto loss, the 20-year-old center said the game was very physical and described taking hits to the head, raising concerns about contact and calls.
  • Seattle also remains without All-Star Ezi Magbegor, who injured her right foot on April 20 while playing for Australia in World Cup qualifying, with a progress update expected roughly six to eight weeks from that announcement.
