I don't think I saw Mechelle Voepel's ESPNw article from Tuesday evening posted, which focuses primarily on LA Sparks Coach Derek Fisher's thoughts on the USA National Committee's decision.  So, here goes: 
[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/31688853/los-angeles-sparks-star-nneka-ogwumike-olympics-snubs-travesty-derek-fisher-says[/URL]

According to Voepel:

"Fisher referenced the fact that in July 2019, Ogwumike was named as one of eight players who committed to participate in USA Basketball training and competition in 2019-20 rather than go overseas. The eight were essentially considered core players for the 2020 Olympics, although the Summer Games, of course, were postponed a year by the coronavirus pandemic.

"Six of those eight were named to the 12-member 2021 Olympic team Monday. The two who weren't named Olympians were Ogwumike and Washington's Elena Delle Donne.

"I don't know what else a player is supposed to do," Fisher said. "She's been an All-Star six times in the last 10 years. She's been MVP of the league, a champion in the league, one of the faces of the league."
