Candace Parker set to see her jersey in LA rafters this year
Candace Parker will now be immortalized among some of the LA sports greats this year, as her jersey will be hanging in the rafters during the Sparks’ game against the Chicago Sky on June 29 during the 2025 WNBA regular season.
In a statement, Parker expressed her pride as one of the city’s best stars throughout its long history.
"To see my jersey hanging in the rafters amongst other legends is truly an honor.… This moment is not just about me — it’s about my family, my teammates and the incredible support from the LA Sparks organization and fans,” she said.
“I’m grateful to my parents, who believed in me every step of the way, to my brothers who still are my heroes and to my wife and kids, who inspire me every day. The Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) raised Lailaa and this was her playground growing up.”
Parker will only be the third player whose jersey number will be on the rafters. It's also fitting that her ceremony will happen during the Sparks’ game against the Sky, with whom she won a championship.
