Remaining with Dallas Ogunbowale is slated to sign a multi-year contract with the Wings, Alexa Philippou of ESPN.com reports Friday.

Impact Ogunbowale was eligible for a supermax deal after receiving a core qualifying offer from the Wings on Tuesday, but she's accepted a lower seven-figure salary to give the team more cap space to make additional acquisitions around her. Dallas selected Paige Bueckers with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, and Ogunbowale didn't need to shoulder as much of the workload as a result. She averaged 15.5 points, 4.1 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 33.3 minutes per game while serving exclusively as a starter across 29 regular-season appearances. Her scoring average was the lowest mark of her career due to a lower shot volume alongside another prolific scorer in Bueckers. Ogunbowale maintained a high fantasy floor with some upside potential in 2025, and that will likely continue across the next few years as she continues to form a potent backcourt tandem with Bueckers.

Missing season finale Ogunbowale (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's regular-season finale against the Mercury, freelance Mercury writer Jeff Metcalfe reports.

Impact Ogunbowale will miss a 12th straight game due to right knee tendinitis. She was diagnosed with the injury Aug. 19 and wasn't given a clear timeline for return, with the team stating that she'd be evaluated in "the coming weeks." With Dallas being eliminated from playoff contention weeks ago, Ogunbowale's absence Thursday means her 2025 season is over. The 28-year-old took a step back in offensive production with Paige Bueckers on the team, submitting career lows in points (15.5) and field goal attempts (13.9). The lowered volume didn't help her efficiency, as she posted 36/30/93 shooting splits. She'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
