The celebration turned sour real quick for WNBA star Arike Ogunbowale.
The Dallas Wings guard was arrested on March 5 after allegedly punching a man outside of Miami’s popular E11EVEN Nightclub. This was just hours after her incredible 19-point performance that helped the Mist clinch their first-ever Unrivaled league championship on March 4.
ESPN reported that nightclub security footage appeared to corroborate the man’s account of being struck and knocked down.
It’s a tough situation for the four-time All-Star and two-time All-Star Game MVP. One minute you’re on top of the world with a championship ring, the next you’re dealing with legal trouble. The full story is still developing, and there may be context we haven’t heard yet.
For now, all eyes are on how this plays out — both legally and in terms of her standing with the WNBA.
