Signed by Dallas The Wings signed Okonkwo to a seven-day hardship contract Thursday, Grant Afseth of The Next Hoops reports.

Waived by Sun The Sun waived Okonkwo on Wednesday.

Logs 12 minutes off bench Okonkwo (hip) played 12 minutes off the bench and finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and a steal in Friday's preseason 94-86 win over the Liberty.

Impact Okonkwo was questionable for Friday's preseason finale but ended up seeing minutes off the bench, although she didn't do much to stand out. It remains to be seen if she'll secure a regular-season roster spot ahead of the regular-season opener against the Mystics on May 18, but even if she does, she's expected to be a bench alternative in most contests.

MAY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for preseason finale Okonkwo is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason game versus the Liberty due to a left hip injury.

Impact Okonkwo signed a training camp contract with the Sun earlier this year and logged 16 minutes in the team's preseason finale. If Okonkwo is unable to suit up against New York, she will need to secure a regular-season roster spot ahead of the team's opener against Washington on May 18.

Reaches double figures off bench Okonkwo finished with 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes in Sunday's 79-59 preseason loss to Seattle.

Impact Okonkwo made the most of her time off the bench in Sunday's preseason battle, struggling shooting from the field but shooting a perfect mark from the free throw line and ending as one of three Sun players with a double-digit point total. Okonkwo, who signed a training camp contract this offseason, will continue to fight for a final roster spot either with Connecticut or elsewhere in 2025.
