34-Year-Old CenterC

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ogwumike has spent the first 12 seasons of her career in Los Angeles but was an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2024 season. She's remained with the Sparks through ups and downs but informed Los Angeles in January that she plans to play elsewhere in 2024. The 33-year-old signed with the Storm in February and joins a new-look lineup that includes Jewell Loyd, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Ezi Magbegor, but Ogwumike should remain an impactful player. She shot 51.2 percent from the floor in 2023 -- the second-lowest mark of her career -- but logged a career-high 14.3 field-goal attempts per game. Ogwumike's production remained constant, as she averaged 19.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.1 minutes per game. While Seattle struggled last year, the team should show vast improvement in 2024 with Ogwumike helping to lead the way. She's one of the league's premier scoring and rebounding threats and has shot over 50 percent from the floor in each of her professional seasons. Ogwumike should remain a dominant frontcourt presence with her new team and is still a player to target early in fantasy drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Double-doubles in playoff exit
CSeattle Storm
September 25, 2024
Ogwumike amassed 16 points (5-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and four steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 83-76 loss to the Aces.
ANALYSIS
Ogwumike had a rough showing from the field and struggled as a scorer, but she made her presence felt on the glass by grabbing double-digit rebounds for a second straight contest. She posted double-doubles in her two playoff outings, and Ogwumike averaged 16.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game across 37 regular-season starts. While Ogwumike had a solid season in Seattle and seemed to mesh well with her new teammates, she'll be an unrestricted free agent during the offseason and will generate plenty of interest once again.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Ogwumike had the opportunity to explore free agency during the offseason but ultimately decided to re-sign with the Sparks. She posted a bounce-back campaign in 2022 with Los Angeles, racking up 18.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, her best totals in the categories since 2019. It helped that she was able to stay on the floor for most of the season, missing just two games after playing a combined 36 in the previous two campaigns. Ogwumike is the featured option in Los Angeles when healthy, and the front office brought in some reinforcements this offseason, including a premier point guard in Jasmine Thomas and another scoring threat in Azura Stevens. While the two should factor into the usage equation, Ogwumike is still front-and-center, and she could benefit from the additional distributor in Thomas.
Ogwumike missed over a month with a knee injury and appeared in only 18 games during the 2021 campaign. However, the veteran forward was productive in her limited action and averaged 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals across 31.7 minutes per game. After returning from the injury, she scored in double figures in nine straight games and registered three double-doubles during that stretch, including back-to-back games to finish the season. The addition of Liz Cambage may cut into Ogwumike's overall usage, but as long as she's able to stay healthy, she is expected to be one of the more consistent producers in the WNBA.
