Arike Ogunbowale could leave Wings for another team

In the 2019 WNBA draft, the Dallas Wings drafted Arike Ogunbowale at No. 5. Since then, the All-Star guard has stuck with the team through it all. However, patience might be running out for Ogunbowale after Dallas' performance last season.

Despite having Paige Bueckers and Ogunbowale herself on the roster, Dallas won just 10 games in the season. There was a widespread belief that Dallas tanked because they wanted the top draft pick.

Ogunbowale has dedicated her career to the team, and even at age 28 and seven seasons later, she has played a total of only 7 playoff games. Just one time in her career, she has moved beyond the first round. It was the second year in a row that the Wings missed the playoffs.

Ogunbowale might end up making a big career decision this offseason. She could either join a title-contending team or join the Toronto Tempo for a fresh start.
