Candace Parker set to have first of 2 jersey retirements this weekend in Los Angeles
Candace Parker has been on the go since she announced her retirement from the WNBA in 2024. From broadcasting college and pro games to taking over as the president of Women's Basketball for Adidas, the future Hall of Famer has been busy. She's also had more time for what she calls her most important job — being a mom to her daughter Lailaa and sons Airr Larry and Hartt Summitt. 'I am doing more now than I have. I used to be able to use basketball as a crutch,' Parker said in an interview with The Associated Press. 'Now it's like, you ain't going to rest up for nothing. I think this first year of retirement has kind of been my like 'What do I want to do more of in this first year?' My main priority is being there for my family. My daughter's going to be a junior next year and is going to start to get recruited for volleyball.' Next up for Parker is the Los Angeles Sparks game on Sunday to have her jersey retired. She brought a championship to the franchise in 2016 and the Sparks will be playing Chicago, Parker's hometown team that she went to and helped win a title for in 2021. The Sky will retire her No. 3 jersey later this summer, making her only the second WNBA player to have her number retired by two different teams. Lindsay Whalen had her jersey retired by both Connecticut and Minnesota. 'It's surreal to be honest,' Parker said of the two jersey retirements. 'I would be lying if I didn't say that when I go into an organization, I want to be one of the best. I want to be remembered as one of the best. And sometimes one of the best doesn't always get their jersey retired.' Parker, who also wrote a book 'The Can-Do Mindset' that was just published, said when she was drafted by Los Angeles No. 1 in 2008 she wanted to win championships there. 'My main thing when I look up into the rafters is like, I want to hang a banner, I wanted to hang banners,' she said. She brought one title to Los Angeles. Coming to Chicago she wanted to help her hometown win its first championship. It was something she accomplished in her brief time there. 'To be able to do that and walk around the city and know you have a championship, I think is super special for me,' she said. Parker never wanted a retirement tour when she decided to end her playing career before the start of last season. 'I never got a chance to stop and like, really live in the moment and be where my two feet were,' she said. 'Now I'm able to. And because of that, I realized how much I missed out on by not stopping and, like, smelling roses. And so now I'm, like, smelling every flower, every rose, every letter.' One area that Parker is trying to get into, but hasn't had success yet is WNBA ownership. She was part of the expansion bid put in by Nashville. 'I can't think of why the league wouldn't want a team in Nashville. I feel like it's kind of the birthplace of women's basketball,' Parker said. 'In terms of Pat Summitt and what she's meant to the rest of women's basketball, why can't or why shouldn't we have a team in Tennessee. I think it would be a state team and wouldn't just be a team from Nashville.' If Nashville was to get an expansion team, that would just add more to Parker's plate which is quite full right now. She's busy trying to make women's basketball at Adidas into the next big thing. 'Where women's basketball is in general, it was looked at as a negative balance, and now it's actually looked at as a business. It is the future of where sports are. We at Adidas have to be on our horse and make sure we understand the power of the dollar sign behind women. Women sell the numbers. That's the thing that's changed with women's sports. It went from being looked at as a charity to now it's a runway.'

Fever start fast without Caitlin Clark, hang on for 94-86 win over Wings and Paige Bueckers
DALLAS — Kelsey Mitchell scored 32 points, and the Indiana Fever held on without the injured Caitlin Clark, taking a 22-point lead in the first quarter before finishing off a 94-86 victory over the Dallas Wings on Friday night. Clark's left groin injury spoiled what was supposed to be the first meeting of the past two No. 1 picks in the WNBA draft. The game was the first at the home of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks for the Wings, who took Paige Bueckers first overall this year. The Wings, who are planning a move to downtown Dallas in the next couple of years, have played about 20 miles away on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington since moving to the area nine years ago. Bueckers sparked a rally by beating the first-half buzzer with a long 3-pointer after a steal and finished with 27 points despite a cold start from the field. The Wings took a lead in the fourth quarter after trailing by 23 in the first half, but couldn't overcome 26% shooting in the first 10 minutes. Arike Ogunbowale scored 15 for Dallas. Aliyah Boston scored 21 points and Natasha Howard had 15 points and 13 rebounds and three steals for the Fever, who made all 11 of their shots from inside the 3-point arc in the first quarter and shot 59% for the game. The absence of Clark, who missed a second consecutive game after sitting out five earlier this season with a quadriceps injury, didn't keep the crowd or the pro sports stars away. The 20,000-seat American Airlines Center was nearly full, and among the fans were nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving of the Mavericks, star pass rusher Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys and Cooper Flagg. The 18-year-old Flagg was drafted No. 1 overall out of Duke by the Mavericks on Wednesday, a little more than two months after the Wings selected Bueckers. Flagg, who got a loud ovation when he was shown on the video board in the third quarter, was introduced to the Dallas media earlier Friday. Cade Cunningham, a Dallas-area resident and the No. 1 overall choice by the Detroit Pistons four years ago, sat near Parsons. Even with all the star power, there were plenty of Clark — and Fever — backers in the crowd, delighted by the quick start with the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year on the bench in street clothes. The Wings took their only lead at 80-79 on JJ Quinerly's three-point play midway through the fourth quarter. Aari McDonald started a clinching 9-0 run for the Fever with a bucket that broke an 82-82 tie.
