Arike Approaching Major Milestone

Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale is 11 points from becoming the Wings franchise leader for career points, as she enters Thursday's tilt with New York with 3,961 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 192 games thus far, compared to Nolan at 293.

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 record for 3-pointers made (490) and attempted (1,399) and free-throws made (774).
