Arike Approaching Major Milestone

Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale is 34 points from becoming the Wings franchise leader for career points, as she enters Tuesday's tilt with New York with 3,938 points. Deanna Nolan, who played for the Detroit Shock between 2001-09, holds the franchise standard with 3,971 points. Ogunbowale is on pace to do it in impressive fashion as well, having only appeared in 191 games thus far, compared to Nolan at 293. Now in her sixth season with Dallas, Ogunbowale has averaged 20.6 points per game for her career since the Wings drafted her out of Notre Dame fifth overall in 2019. Ogunbowale would become the third active player to hold her franchise's career scoring record, along with A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces and Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury. Ogunbowale already holds Wings franchise records for 3-pointers made (487) and attempted (1,392) and free-throws made (769). Ogunbowale has scored at least 33 points four times this season and twice in the last six games, making the record well within reach for Tuesday.
