Fans call out Wings for not celebrating Azzi Fudd's record amid Ogunbowale milestone
Summary

Dallas Wings fans expressed frustration over the team's social media post celebrating Arike Ogunbowale's 1000th career assist during a 78-70 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. They pointed out the lack of recognition for Azzi Fudd, the No. 1 pick, who broke the franchise rookie record with 61 3-pointers in a season earlier this month. The Wings are struggling without Fudd, holding a 1-5 record since her injury on August 7. They average just 24.7% shooting from beyond the arc in her absence, which could be a league worst. The Wings will next play the Indiana Fever on Thursday, hoping for Fudd's return.
