Nneka Ogwumike did not let falling to the floor prevent her from making a play. The longtime Los Angeles Sparks forward — now in her 12th season with the franchise — initially looked to post up a pair of Washington Mystics defenders before losing her footing in the paint. As she tumbled, the eight-time All-Star had the presence of mind to skip a bounce pass over to Karlie Samuelson, who knocked down a contested 3-pointer. Ogwumike posted team-highs of 20 points and 10 rebounds while also mixing in five assists and two blocks in her squad’s 91-83 road win on August 6, 2023. · Aug 6, 2023
