What happened: Nneka Ogwumike will conclude her professional career Thursday night when the Los Angeles Sparks host the Golden State Valkyries. The 2016 WNBA champion walks away with 11 All-Star selections and eight All-WNBA nods.
Why it matters: The finale closes a historic run for the same Nneka Ogwumike who set the Sparks scoring record. She steps away just days after joining the 8,000-point club during a stop in Las Vegas.
By the numbers: Ogwumike captured the 2012 Rookie of the Year award and made seven All-Defensive teams over her tenure.
What to watch: Tipoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET on WNBA League Pass.
