Jersey retirement
Chicago honored Candace Parker at halftime by raising her
retired No. 3 jersey to the rafters of Wintrust Arena, alongside
the team’s 2021 championship banner she helped the Sky win.
Earlier this summer, Parker had her jersey retired in Los
Angeles, where she helped win a championship in 2016.
She's the second WNBA player to have her number retired by two
different teams. Lindsay Whalen had her jersey retired by both
Connecticut and Minnesota.
