2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ogwumike, who was coming off an injury-plagued 2021, had a limited role in 2022 and averaged 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 18.4 minutes across 26 appearances (seven starts), marking the worst statistical season of her four-year career. At first, Ogwumike's 2023 outlook appeared bleak, as Los Angeles retained Katie Lou Samuelson and brought in Azura Stevens, Dearica Hamby and Stephanie Talbot to bolster its frontcourt. However, Samuelson (pregnancy) and Talbot (knee) are unlikely to play this season, allowing Ogwumike to creep back into fantasy relevancy. It's unlikely Ogwumike will be able to get back to her rookie-level production (14.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 25.5 minutes as a full-time starter with Connecticut in 2018), but she's a strong bounce-back candidate heading into 2023 and remains a high-floor option due to rebounding, defensive production and above-average shooting efficiency.

Illness
May 27, 2023
Ogwumike (illness) will not play in Saturday's game against Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Ogwumike is the latest victim of an illness that has traveled through the Sparks locker room as of late, joining Jordin Canada and Layshia Clarendon in street clothes due to the sickness. In her absence, Nneka Ogwumike (illness), Dearica Hamby and Joyner Holmes will likely see larger workloads. Ogwumike's next chance to play will come Friday against the Mercury.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Ogwumike played in just seven games during the 2021 campaign due to a nagging knee injury. She averaged 7.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 19.1 minutes per game but was never able to gain any traction after recording back-to-back games with at least 10 points and five rebounds to start the season. The addition of Liz Cambage will likely cut into Ogwumike's overall production, but as long as she's healthy, she should still operate as a key reserve for the Sparks during the 2022 campaign.
