What happened: Ogwumike checked out late in the Sparks meeting in Las Vegas to applause from the Aces home crowd. The date was her last road appearance before retirement.
Why it matters: The farewell closes a road career that included a title run alongside former teammate Chelsea Gray. The Sparks-Aces meeting carries late-season playoff positioning.
By the numbers: Ogwumike joined the 8,000-point club two days before the ovation.
What to watch: Her final career appearance comes next at home.
