The Los Angeles Sparks are planning to retire Candace Parker's jersey during the 2025 season, the team announced on Thursday. Parker will have her No. 3 jersey retired on June 29 for the Sparks' home game against the Chicago Sky at the Crypto.com Arena.
“To see my jersey hanging in the rafters amongst other legends is truly an honor.
