DURHAM – Former Duke women's basketball standout and WNBA star Lindsey Harding made history this week as she was tabbed the head coach for the Stockton Kings, the G League affiliate of the Sacramento Kings, on Tuesday – becoming just the second woman all-time to coach a professional men's basketball team in the U.S.
Harding joins Stockton after spending four seasons on the Sacramento bench as an assistant coach/player development coach. Prior to her time with the Kings, Harding was a player development coach with the Philadelphia 76ers after working as a pro personnel scout – the first Black woman to become a full-time NBA scout – for the club during the 2018-19 season.
