"BREAKING: 10x WNBA All-Star and 2016 MVP Nneka Ogwumike intends to re-sign with the Los Angeles Sparks . She previously played 12 seasons in LA and 'is looking forward to returning home,'" Chiney wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Ogwumike visited several teams during this first week of free agency, and everyone thought she was going to the Minnesota Lynx , especially after seeing all the balloons during that visit.
It looks like in the end, Ogwumike wanted to go back to where she had most of the success in her career, and it's a good fit for her. The Sparks currently have a core of Dearica Hamby , Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink , and adding a player like Ogwumike is only going to make them better.

The Sparks could be making more moves in the coming days, as there have been rumors that they're looking to trade Rickea Jackson to the Chicago Sky for Ariel Atkins .
As for the Seattle Storm , they'll be losing a top player, and they could be losing more depending on how free agency goes. Ogwumike was with the Storm for two seasons and lost in the first round of the playoffs both times.
Ogwumike averaged 18.3 points and 7.0 rebounds last season.
