Ezi Magbegor has been named in the Australian Opals squad for the FIBA World Cup Qualifying tournament in Türkiye from 11 – 17 March.
Magbegor, who grew up in Craigieburn, is part of a full strength Opals squad.
Basketball Australia said the roster for Istanbul features strength across all position groups, further bolstered with the availability of stars from the WNBL as well as international WNBA and EuroLeague competitions.
Australia’s Opals will get the opportunity to compete against a slew of contenders for this year’s FIBA Women’s World Cup, including Argentina, Canada and Japan.
