Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale will miss the remainder of the regular season and the team’s first-round playoff matchup after undergoing successful abdominal surgery on Tuesday, the team announced.
Ogunbowale’s procedure comes a day after the star guard did not play in the Wings’ 86–77 victory against the Liberty on Monday due to suffering an abdominal injury in Dallas’s overtime win against the Fever on Saturday.
“Hurts my heart that I can’t be out there with the team, but my dawgs gon hold it down always,” Ogunbowale tweeted on Tuesday.
With Monday’s victory, the Wings secured their second consecutive playoff berth.
