Wings' Arike Ogunbowale withdrew from consideration for U.S. women's Olympic team due to 'politics'

Amid the controversy over Caitlin Clark being left off the USA women's basketball roster for the 2024 Olympics, many WNBA fans pointed out that Arike Ogunbowale was another notable snub from the team.

The Dallas Wings guard is a three-time WNBA All-Star who also earned first- and second-team All-WNBA honors during her previous five professional seasons. She also won the 2021 WNBA All-Star Game MVP award. So far this year, Ogunbowale is putting up the best numbers of her career, averaging 24.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.9 steals per game.
