This August, the Chicago Sky will pay tribute to one of the most influential figures in WNBA history by retiring Candace Parker’s iconic No. 3 jersey. A two-time league MVP and a transformative force in women’s basketball, Parker has made an indelible mark both on the court and within Chicago since rejoining the team in 2021.
