Disastrous shooting in return Ogunbowale ended up with two points (0-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes in Sunday's 102-83 loss to the Fever.

Impact Ogunbowale missed the past three games due to a left thumb ailment, and the injury obviously affected her shooting in this ugly performance. The good news is that she only turned the ball over one time, and she was perfect from the free-throw line.

Sits out practice Ogunbowale (thumb) did not practice Saturday, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Ogunbowale was unable to practice once again, putting her status against the Mercury on Monday in jeopardy. She missed Thursday's win against Phoenix due to a thumb injury and is in danger of missing a second straight game. If she's unable to play, Dallas will likely turn to Aziaha James to help shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Not playing Thursday Ogunbowale (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mercury.

Impact Ogunbowale has missed the Wings' last two practices while dealing with a thumb issue, and the injury is severe enough for her to miss her first game of the regular season Thursday. It's unclear what her timeline for a return is, but her next chance to see the floor will be Monday in a rematch against Phoenix. The Wings will get reinforcements with the return of Paige Bueckers (knee). With Ogunbowale sidelined, Aziaha James and JJ Quinerly are candidates to see a significant increase in playing time and offensive responsibilities.

Misses another practice Ogunbowale (thumb) did not practice Wednesday, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact For the second day in a row, Ogunbowale was unable to practice. This puts her status against the Mercury on Thursday in jeopardy. The coaching staff may provide more clarity, but at the minimum, fantasy managers will have a better idea of her status when the Wings release their official injury report Wednesday evening.

Dealing with thumb issue Ogunbowale is dealing with a thumb issue, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Ogunbowale sat out practice on Tuesday, with head coach Chris Koclanes saying that the Wings were waiting on another update from the medical team. With this news, Ogunbowale's status for Thursday's game against the Mercury is now in jeopardy. If she's forced to miss time, the Wings would need Paige Bueckers (knee) to soak up even more usage.

JULY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice Ogunbowale (undisclosed) did not practice Tuesday, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact It's unclear what ailment Ogunbowale is dealing with, though it's not out of the question that this was simply a maintenance day. The Wings don't play until Thursday against the Mercury, and more clarity should be known once the team releases their injury report Wednesday. On the other hand, Paige Bueckers (knee) fully practiced Tuesday.

Poor shooting display Ogunbowale finished with 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Saturday's 79-71 win over the Mystics.

Impact There were four players who scored in double digits for the Wings in this game. While Ogunbowale was one of the team's top scoring weapons, she also had a rough performance from an efficiency perspective. Fantasy managers probably know Ogunbowale won't be very efficient with her shots, and they'll probably overlook that as long as she continues to put up solid scoring numbers on a game-to-game basis.

Rookie JJ Quinerly scores season-high 15 in her first WNBA start to help the Wings beat the Mystics

Scores 15 points Friday Ogunbowale posted 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), a rebound, an assist, a steal and a block across 32 minutes in Friday's 94-86 loss to the Fever.

Impact Fantasy managers who decided to trust Ogunbowale this season, either on season-long formats or DFS, know the star guard is not going to be a player who will stand out based on her efficiency. However, Ogunbowale should rack up points every time she steps on the court, and that was the case again Friday. This was the fifth time she scored 15 or more points in her last six appearances. Even with the emergence of Paige Bueckers as a fantasy star, Ogunbowale should continue to deliver value as long as she finds a way to score the basket with consistency -- and that isn't going to change based on what she's done in recent games.

JUNE 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 21 points in win Ogunbowale supplied 21 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 68-55 victory over Atlanta.

Impact After a quiet start to the season, Ogunbowale's fantasy value is stabilizing as she develops chemistry alongside Paige Bueckers. Through 16 games, she's shooting 35.9 percent from the field with averages of 17.1 points, 4.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 34.3 percent from the field.
