Candace Parker Considers Playing Next WNBA Season if Her Foot Recovers Fully

Two-time WNBA MVP suffered considerable left foot injury last season; emphasizes importance of health over game, potentially citing retirement if unable to fully recover.

  • Two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker is considering another season with the Las Vegas Aces if her health allows, following a significant foot surgery in July 2023.
  • Despite missing a significant portion of the season to injury, Parker played a crucial off-court leadership role in the Aces' second straight WNBA championship.
  • Parker, who played through her foot injury throughout her first season with the Aces, insists she doesn't want to 'cheat the game' by playing when not fully fit.
  • Having signed a one-year deal with the Aces in 2023, Parker is now a free agent, but has expressed an interest in returning to Las Vegas, health permitting.
  • Parker's journey, from her roots in Naperville, Illinois to her successful career with WNBA teams and personal challenges, is being chronicled in a documentary, 'Unapologetic', set to debut on ESPN.
