Candace Parker is an LA basketball great, having won two MVPs and a championship for the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. Now, she is adding a new title to her already-decorated resume: Turner Sports NBA and NCAA analyst. After doing some work on studio shows during the 2018 NCAA Tournament, Parker is taking her talents to broadcast full time for the 2018-19 season.
There is a growing trend of WNBA players using their offseason to explore careers in the NBA, and Parker joins Chiney Ogwumike of the Connecticut Sun (ESPN in-studio analyst) and Kristi Toliver of the Washington Mystics (Wizards player development assistant coach) along that path.
