What happened: Magbegor sustained an apparent lower-leg injury during Wednesday's 82-80 win, according to her national team coach. [RotoWire](https://www.rotowire.com/wnba/news.php?view=injuries)

Why it matters: Losing Smith reduces frontcourt options for the remainder of the tournament. Magbegor's availability now also bears on how those minutes are covered.

By the numbers: Magbegor played four minutes Wednesday, recording two points, two rebounds and one assist. [RotoWire](https://www.rotowire.com/wnba/news.php?view=injuries)

What to watch: Watch for an official update on Magbegor's availability for the next game.
