Nneka Ogwumike on the Minnesota Lynx would be deadly.
WNBA legend Nneka Ogwumike is visiting the Minnesota Lynx in free agency, per ESPN.
Ogwumike spent the last two seasons with the Seattle Storm.
One of the greatest players in WNBA history, Ogwumike appeared in 44 games for Seattle last season. She averaged 18.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 51.9% from the field, 36.7% from beyond the arc and 82.2% from the foul line.
The Lynx went 34-10 last season. They lost to the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Semifinals. Adding Ogwumike next to superstar Napheesa Collier would make Minnesota very dangerous on both ends of the floor.
A 10-time All-Star, Ogwumike has played for the Los Angeles Sparks and Storm. She holds career averages of 16.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. The Stanford product won MVP in 2016 and helped LA win the 2016 championship.
It will be fascinating to see if Ogwumike signs with the Lynx. She's been very busy lately, helping the WNBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association reach an agreement on the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement.
Ogwumike, of course, is the WNBPA president.
"We're just really grateful to be able to come to a deal," Ogwumike said. "We're proud of ourselves. And quite frankly, we always told you all we were going to stand on business, and that's what this looks like."
