Considering the Storm’s long history, Ogwumike's accomplishment is nothing to overlook.

Last season, Ogwumike joined the Storm after a long run with the Los Angeles Sparks. During the 2024 WNBA season, Ogwumike appeared in 37 games, seeing the court for an average of 32 minutes per game.

The veteran produced 17 points per game, while shooting 51 percent from the field. Throughout the entirety of last year’s run, Ogwumike attempted 493 shots from the field, making 252 of them. This year, the volume was turned up from the field for the veteran.

With 39 games in the bag, Ogwumike attempted over 500 shots for the Storm, a number that’s way up compared to last year. The veteran left the court in Indiana on Tuesday with 287 field goals made for this season. The franchise record is sure to expand as the season winds down.

Ogwumike surpassed Jewell Loyd, who previously held the record at 285 field goals. Beyond Loyd were Breanna Stewart (270) and Lauren Jackson (258). Ogwumike is on pace to become the first player in Storm history to make 290 field goals in a single season with the team.

At this point in her career, Nneka Ogwumike has 432 games in the bag. The veteran has averaged 17 points while hitting on 54 percent of the shots from the field.
