Free agent F/C Nneka Ogwumike isn't returning to Sparks, intends to meet with Liberty

Nneka Ogwumike and the Los Angles Sparks had a good run together.

In their 12 years together, the forward-center won the WNBA's Rookie of the Year award in 2012, enjoyed her only All-WNBA First Team selection in 2016, hoisted a WNBA Finals and WNBA Finals MVP trophy in 2016. Ogwumike put on a show throughout her tenure as an All-Star selection for eight of those seasons, too.

All of that is coming to an end after Ogwumike informed the only WNBA team she's ever played for that she won't be returning in free agency. This is the 33 year old's best and likely final opportunity to move around as a truly unrestricted free agent.
