2x WNBA champion Candace Parker says she's still unsure as to what the future holds
“I’m game for playing five, six more WNBA seasons if I could literally have an easy button of getting in shape.”
However, the two-time WNBA champion told Ledlow she decided not to retire when her daughter, Lailaa, asked her to play one more year while driving home from her daughter’s game. That, and being in the Windy City has made it a little easier for Parker to continue playing. “It’s really cool to be in Chicago, even outside of basketball,” Parker said. “It’s just something about being able to go over to my dad’s house and have dinner, my mom cooks pregame for me, to see my family and friends … it’s nice being back.”. Through 14 seasons, Parker has averaged 13 points, 8.4 rebounds and four assists per game.
Whether or not she hangs it up after 2022, Parker said she has truly taken the time to value every moment going forward. “There’s more basketball behind me than in front of me, and I realize that,” Parker said. “I’m excited for this ride.”
