Wanderlust

After a 79-76 victory over the Mystics on Sunday, members of the Sparks’ traveling party were forced to sleep in the airport after the team’s flight back home to Los Angeles was canceled.

Sparks star Nneka Ogwumike took to Twitter to discuss the travel issues in a video to her followers.

‘So we are rooming in the airport,’ Ogwumike said. ‘It’s the first time in my 11 seasons that I’ve ever had to sleep in the airport. … It was only a matter of time. Half of us are sleeping in the airport and half of us are in a hotel.
