One of the greatest to ever do it is calling it a career. 🥹🏀⁣
⁣
Nneka Ogwumike told Taylor Rooks she plans to retire at the end of the 2026 WNBA season. 🫶⁣
⁣
The 11-time All-Star has spent 15 seasons in the league, won a WNBA championship and MVP with the Sparks in 2016, and has cemented herself in the record books: ⁣
⁣
🏀 7,879 points (4th all-time)⁣
🏀 3,565 rebounds (3rd all-time)⁣
🏀 129 double-doubles (7th all-time)⁣
⁣
And she’s still averaging 16.9 PPG and 8.7 RPG at 36 years old. 👏⁣
⁣
If the Sparks miss the playoffs, Ogwumike’s final game would be Sept. 24 against the Golden State Valkyries. 🥲⁣
⁣
One more run for Nneka. 💜⁣
