Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Ogunbowale is known for her incredible talent on the court, so it\u2019s disappointing to hear about something like this happening off the court. Hopefully, all the facts come out soon, and the situation gets handled properly.<\/p>\n<p>Things have looked rough for Ogunbowale. Celebrating a title should never end with something like this, especially when it\u2019s all on camera.<\/p>\n<p>Ogunbowale hit the game-winner to seal the championship at Unrivaled and still let her anger take over.
