Arike Ogunbowale and Co. won the final of the women’s Unrivaled league against the Phantom 80-74 after Breanna Stewart led the Mist to the championship. However, the winning celebrations seemed to have gone a little too far, as the Dallas Wings guard reportedly punched a man in Miami and was arrested for her act.
NBA analyst Andy Slater shared the news on X about the arrest of the 4-time WNBA All-Star in Miami and wrote:
“WNBA All-Star Arike Ogunbowale was arrested on Thursday while celebrating her team’s Unrivaled basketball championship at Club E11EVEN in Miami.
Police sources tell me she punched a man in the face and he fell to the ground.
It was also caught on camera.”

The 2-time WNBA All-Star MVP scored 19 points in the final game. The league also released a statement regarding the incident.
