"Nneka Ogwumike is coming home in a strong endorsement of the Sparks' vow to succeed during the upcoming season. Her return suggests confidence in the team's plans."
"While she was gone, the Sparks replaced coach Curt Miller with Lynne Roberts, traded for WNBA All-Star Kelsey Plum, and broke ground on a new practice facility."
"The Sparks have missed the postseason for the past five seasons, but adding the 36-year-old veteran bolsters their push to take a big step forward into the playoff mix."
Nneka Ogwumike, a 10-time All-Star, is returning to the Sparks after two seasons with the Seattle Storm. During her absence, the Sparks made significant changes, including hiring coach Lynne Roberts and trading for Kelsey Plum. They are also building a new $150 million practice facility. Ogwumike's return indicates her belief in the team's direction, despite missing the playoffs for five consecutive seasons. The Sparks aim to improve their performance and are expected to announce her return officially soon.
