Nneka Ogwumike to Leave Los Angeles Sparks in Free Agency

Former WNBA MVP explores options with five teams as Sparks brace for a new era.

Nneka Ogwumike, former WNBA MVP, has informed the Los Angeles Sparks that she intends to leave in free agency.
Ogwumike has reportedly met or will meet with five teams: Atlanta Dream, Phoenix Mercury, Chicago Sky, Seattle Storm and New York Liberty.
Her departure marks a significant blow to the Sparks, who have lost franchise stars Candace Parker, Chelsea Gray and now Ogwumike in recent years.
The Sparks are expected to use the No. 2 pick of this year's WNBA draft to find a new face of the franchise.
Ogwumike's legacy with the Sparks includes the 2016 WNBA championship, and she will be remembered as one of the Sparks' all-time greats.
