Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale revealed she took her name out of contention for Team USA at the 2024 Summer Olympics, saying she believed she was not wanted on the team.
"Whether that's USA Basketball, whether that's All-Star teams, whether that's first team, and stuff like that, there's politics," Ogunbowale said on the Nightcap podcast. "Even with the men's [basketball teams]. There's politics in everything, so I'm gonna just leave it at that."
A three-time All-Star and two-time All-WNBA selection, Ogunbowale would seemingly be a shoo-in if her 2024 season performance was any indication.
