Chicago Sky to retire Candace Parker's jersey

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Sky plan to retire Candace Parker's No. 3 jersey later this year.

The WNBA team made the announcement Wednesday.

A jersey retirement ceremony will be held during the Sky's game against the Las Vegas Aces on August 25 at Wintrust Arena.

"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," Parker said in a statement. "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."
