Ogwumike believes the Sparks, bolstered by Friday’s 17-point comeback win over Dallas, have reached a turning point as they face the Wings again Sunday
LOS ANGELES — Sparks forward Chiney Ogwumike understands the up and downs of the WNBA season.
Through grace and perseverance, Ogwumike, a two-time All-Star and No. 1 pick in the 2014 WNBA draft, suspects the Sparks have turned the corner after a three-game losing streak and are trending in the right direction. In fact, the 6-foot-3 post player scored 15 or more points in three of those first four games. However, over a nearly two-week span, Ogwumike missed five games with a foot injury. Since returning to action, she’s averaged 5.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while coming off the bench.
Despite shooting 35.1% from the field and 11.1% from 3-point range, the Sparks pulled off a gritty 76-74 victory at home Friday night. Sparks head coach Curt Miller would like to see his team fire with greater accuracy in the second of back-to-back games.
