Nneka, Chiney, Erica Ogwumike, all listed on Nigeria s provisional roster, could play in Olympics together, something the family would be very proud of
Sisters Nneka, Chiney and Erica Ogwumike are listed on the provisional roster for Nigeria s women s basketball team, the country s federation announced Tuesday on Twitter. It s possible they all could make the 12-player roster for Nigeria in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, although Nneka and Chiney are still awaiting official FIBA clearance. It s something I know my family would be very proud of, Nneka Ogwumike told ESPN Tuesday. For it to happen would be such a blessing. To be able to do something big for a big part of our heritage would be fantastic. I m hoping it will contribute to the growth we re experiencing for Africa in basketball.
