Nneka Ogwumike, Elizabeth Williams Won t Play for Nigeria After Appeals Denied

Cooper Neill/NBAE via Getty Images A last-ditch effort to get WNBA star Nneka Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams declared eligible for the Nigeria national team was unsuccessful. FIBA announced the Court Arbitration of Sport rejected an appeal by Ogwumike and Williams to play for Nigeria at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The organization added that neither player was listed on Nigeria s Olympic roster. Ogwumike and Williams have represented the United States at the international level.  The former has earned two gold medals in the FIBA Women s Basketball World Cup in 2014 and 2018. The absence of Olympic gold is one of the glaring omissions in an otherwise Hall of Fame-worthy resume.
