Seattle Storm forward Nneka Ogwumike added another milestone to her 14-year career, scoring her 6,815th point during Friday’s 80–79 victory over the Atlanta Dream to pass Sue Bird and Cappie Pondexter for seventh on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list. The 34-year-old finished with 24 points, seven rebounds, three steals and three three-pointers, while guard Erica Wheeler chipped in 21 points. The game was decided when Skylar Diggins banked in a baseline jumper with 3.4 seconds remaining, preserving Seattle’s one-point win and lifting the club to 11-7 on the season. Ogwumike’s climb up the record books continued Sunday against the New York Liberty when she surpassed DeWanna Bonner for eighth place on the league’s career rebounding list, further underscoring her dual impact in scoring and on the glass.
