Nneka Ogwumike is smooth as butter 😌 The vet uses her footwork to out maneuver her defender down low! LAS-ATL | USA Ne Via @WNBA on X

What happened: Veteran forward Nneka Ogwumike utilized her interior footwork to outmaneuver her defender down low in the paint. The action occurred during Monday's USA Network national broadcast of the regular-season contest between Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Why it matters: The frontcourt execution reinforces her veteran status after becoming just the third player in WNBA history to join the 3,000-career-field-goal club earlier in the week. Her low-post consistency remains a focal point ahead of her 11th career selection as a reserve for the upcoming 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game.

By the numbers: Ogwumike logged 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists during a 102-87 victory over the Chicago Sky on July 11.

What to watch: Los Angeles continues its regular-season slate heading into the upcoming 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star weekend. The franchise also navigates its roster strategy approaching the August trade deadline.
