The Chicago Sky announced Wednesday that they will be retiring Candace Parker's No. 3 jersey this season. The Sky will retire her jersey on Aug. 25 before a game against the Las Vegas Aces, with whom Parker spent the final season of her legendary career.
“Growing up in Naperville, playing on courts around here with my brothers, and watching Chicago teams like the Bulls who became synonymous with winning, I never imagined one day my jersey would hang in the rafters of my hometown team,” Candace Parker said in a press release from the Sky. “Coming home to Chicago and helping bring the city its first WNBA championship here—it was personal. I’m beyond grateful to the city, the fans, and everyone who’s been part of my journey. Chicago raised me, and this will always be home.”
