Candace Parker announces retirement: WNBA legend stepping away after 16-year career and two league MVP titles
Parker won three WNBA championships with three different teams
By Isabel Gonzalez • 1 min readAfter 16 years, two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker announced her retirement on Sunday. Through her historic career, she became the first player to win a championship with three different franchises.
"I'm retiring. I promised I'd never cheat the game & that I'd leave it in a better place than I came into it," she wrote on Instagram. "The competitor in me always wants 1 more, but it's time. My HEART & body knew, but I needed to give my mind time to accept it."
Parker was part of the Las Vegas Aces roster last season, but she only appeared in 18 games due to a foot injury. In her post, she said that injury and the struggle to recover played a significant role in her decision.
"This offseason hasn't been fun on a foot that isn't cooperating," Parker wrote. "It's no fun playing in pain (10 surgeries in my career), it's no fun knowing what you could do, if only…it's no fun hearing "she isn't the same" when I know why, it's no fun accepting the fact you need surgery AGAIN."
The former Tennessee forward was selected No. 1 overall by the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2008 WNBA Draft. She stayed with the Sparks for 12 years and helped them win their 2016 championship while being named Finals MVP.
