September 14, 2024 - Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA)
Dallas Wings News Release
Indianapolis, IN - The Dallas Wings (9-29) cap off their stretch of four games in six games with a road tilt at the Indiana Fever (19-19) Sunday afternoon. Tipoff at Gainbridge Fieldhouse is slated for 2 p.m. CT, with the game airing on Bally Sports Southwest Extra and NBA TV, while streaming on WNBA League Pass. Ron Thulin and Fran Harris will be on the call.
Sunday's meeting will be the rubber match between the Wings and Fever, with the teams each winning a game earlier this season at College Park Center. Arike Ogunbowale has averaged 29.0 points against Indiana in 2024, which bodes well for the sixth-year guard as she is 13 points away from 4,000 for her career. Should Ogunbowale, the recently crowned franchise all-time leading scorer, tally at least 13 points tomorrow, she would do it the fastest in WNBA history, accomplishing the feat in just 195 games.
