News about Candace Parker

Despite her team getting swept out of the first round of the playoffs, Clark continues to gather awards for her impressive performances. On Wednesday, the WNBA announced Clark as part of the All-WNBA First Team with unanimous selections Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx and league MVP and Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson.

Angel Reese has built a reputation on being outspoken on the court and off, with her writing another chapter over the weekend. Seemingly from her bedroom, with a pink poster with some of her iconic moments over her left shoulder, Reese told people how 'delusional' they would be to think any WNBA player would fly men out to see them at their games. The implication in Reese's comments are how NBA players do that to women for their games.

A Wednesday matinee tip-off between the Washington Mystics and Indiana Fever resulted in a heated confrontation between rookie sensation Caitlin Clark and veteran counterpart, Julie Vanloo. The incident took place in the second quarter of the Mystics' 89-84 win the Fever in Indianapolis on Wednesday, but things were testy between Clark and Vanloo from the early stages of the first. After assisting on a Katie Lou Samuelson field goal to open the game, Clark followed by pushing off on Washington's Vanloo before hitting a step-back 3-pointer from the corner. Vanloo went tumbling backwards on the play, but did answer with a 3-pointer of her own at the other end of the court.

With their respective teams battling for the last spot in the WNBA playoff picture, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark currently leads Chicago Sky power forward Angel Reese in the ongoing Rookie of the Year chase, according to a national panel of voters.

On Tuesday, the 22-year-old star of the Chicago Sky took to social media to show off her current hairdo after the team's 84-71 loss to the Seattle Storm on Sunday. 'Love a fresh cut,' she wrote over busty footage of herself in one of her sportscars on her Instagram Story, as she also tagged her hairstylist, who only goes by 'Ebony' on social media: 'crownedbyony by my favvv.'

Angel Reese has nothing but respect for Candace Parker.  The Chicago Sky rookie gushed over the WNBA legend when she was asked about beating one of her records on Sunday.  'She's the G.O.A.T.,' Reese told reporters on a Zoom call Sunday, after recording her 13th straight double-double during their clash against the Seattle Storm

In an awkward moment during a post-game press conference, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was left in disbelief as an unidentified reporter was caught on a hot mic. As one reporter was asking about Reese breaking the double-double streak record held by Candace Parker, background noise caught an awkward conversation from someone else on the call. Overheard was a woman's voice asking the question, '[Are we] ever going to have an intimate relationship?'

Chicago Sky sensation Angel Reese wrote herself in the WNBA history books - just a day after rival Caitlin Clark broke more new ground with the Indiana Fever. Reese put a 13th consecutive double-double in Sunday's clash against the Seattle Storm. That saw her break Candace Parker's record for the most successive double-doubles in WNBA history. Parker's streak spanned the 2009 and 2010 seasons but Reese - the No 7 overall pick - went one better while still in her rookie year. 

Angel Reese's Chicago Sky teammates believe she should be taken more seriously in the race for Rookie of the Year in the WNBA. On Friday night, Reese dropped a career-high 27 points with ten rebounds to record her twelfth straight double-double. That ties a streak that was previously held by Candace Parker that was racked up over a decade ago between the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

Chicago Sky star rookie Angel Reese showed that she has impressive range in her Friday night game against the Seattle Storm. Reese buried her first WNBA 3-pointer in her career against Seattle - and then did it again later in the contest. Her first came as time was expiring on the first half - where Reese picked up a deflected pass, settled herself, and then drained the shot.

The 22-year-old WNBA star, of the Chicago Sky, was with reporters on the sidelines of the Atlanta Dream's home court before Chicago's 85-77 win when a little girl asked her: 'What motivates you?' Reese answered the young fan's question just days after being named an All-Star for the first time in her career. The seventh overall pick of this year's WNBA Draft is averaging 13.2 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in her rookie season.

Parlaying her 16-point performance with a season-high 18 rebounds, Reese helped Chicago break a four-game skid and set a new record for most consecutive double-doubles by a rookie in the WNBA. Reese surpassed Tina Charles and Cindy Brown for the record. 'It's super exciting for myself,' Reese told ESPN postgame. 'I try to give myself some grace and tell myself I'm doing a good job, but I have so much more to grow, and I'm just excited to be in this league.'

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin said Caitlin Clark 'deserves' a spot on Team USA's Olympics roster because she 'transformed' women's basketball.  The private equity CEO turned politician, who attended Rice University on a basketball scholarship, said it's 'really crazy' the Fever superstar was left out of the squad for this summer's games in Paris. 'At the end of the day, nobody can deny the fact that she has completely transformed fans' interest and enthusiasm for women's basketball,' he said on Monday's episode of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.

SKIMS announced on Monday morning that it had become the 'official underwear partner' of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) 'just in time for the season tip off.' To celebrate the launch of the collaboration, a slew of basketball players showed off their toned physiques by posing in pieces from the clothing company's Fits Everybody underwear collection. The ladies all donned strapless bandeaus in various shades, which they paired with matching undies, leaving their washboard abs on full display. Back in March, SKIMS faced backlash after it released an ad for SKIMS for Men, which featured six male college basketball stars. Fans were quick to slam Kim and her brand for not showcasing female athletes, especially because it was released during Women's History Month.

As the newest member of the team, Clark is learning how she'll fit into a new offensive system, building chemistry with teammates, and learning the nuances of being the WNBA's highest-profile rookie. Sure, Clark anticipates some bumps this season; she wouldn't expect anything less. But giving the sport she loves her full attention is really all Clark ever wanted. 'I think that's what I was most excited for, getting all that stuff out of the way,' the former Iowa star said on Day 1 of Indiana's training camp on Sunday.

Parker is the only player in league history to win a championship with three different teams - the Las Vegas Aces, Chicago Sky, and L.A. Sparks. She also has two league MVP awards. 'I promised I'd never cheat the game & that I'd leave it in a better place than I came into it,' Parker wrote in a post shared on Instagram, Sunday. 'The competitor in me always wants 1 more, but it's time. My HEART & body knew, but I needed to give my mind time to accept it.'

Interest in Caitlin Clark is at an all-time high after her performances at Iowa and her anticipated WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever. How much is she worth? And who is her boyfriend? Her first contract with the Fever is only for just over $76,000, but thanks to brand deals through name, image, and likeness, as well as other sponsorships, Clark is worth much more than her rookie deal.

Angel Reese, who revealed she would enter the WNBA Draft and leave LSU, spoke out about her decision to make her name known in Vogue Magazine. LSU lost in the Elite Eight of the most closely watched game in women's college basketball history on Monday night. Reese officially said that her college experience ended with an announcement in Vogue Magazine on Wednesday that she will join the WNBA.

Sportico reported on Friday that Moelis & Company had been hired by the club to begin the selling process. According to reports, the decision was made as a result of a conflict between board members over team governance. Alexis Ohanian is the club's largest shareholder. The amount of equity available for sale is uncertain. In addition, the team's three co-founding investors, Kara Nortman, Natalie Portman, and Julie Urham, as well as scores of celebrity investors, who have contributed to the team's confusion. Serena Williams, a tennis legend, and Becky Gibney, Rebecca Aguilera, Jennifer Garner, America Ferrera, and Eva Longoria; actress Jessica Chastain; and former NHL player Candace Parker; former NBA player Kenny; and actress Julie Foudy.

In Game 4 of the WNBA Finals, the Las Vegas Aces defeated the New York Liberty 7-1 to clinch the series 3-1. Las Vegas is now the first team in the WNBA since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001-2002. Although the Aces were without star players Chelsea Gray and Candace Parker, they were still winless, thanks to a last-second standoff on defense.

The trend of Americans investing in soccer abroad has become more popular these days, particularly in terms of their effect on the Premier League. The eight EPL franchises, which include superstars like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, are either entirely or partially owned by American investors. In comparison to those with large pockets, small stakes are being bought by Americans with an eye on growing the league and the game at home. LeBron James has been an investor in Fenway Sports Group and has a majority interest in Liverpool. J.J. Watt and his family recently announced the purchase of a minority stake in Burnley.

Shaquille O'Neal has returned to the gym just a week after undergoing hip replacement surgery. Last week, the former Lakers and Heath legend sparked skepticism when he posted a snapshot of himself in a hospital bed. However, O'Neal seemed to be in good spirits after the surgery, posting the photo on Twitter alongside the caption: 'I'm always watching @TurnerSportsEJ and @Candace_Parker miss y'all,' tagging his TNT colleagues Ernie Johnson and Candace Parker.'

Shaquille O'Neal has posted a snapshot of himself in a hospital bed, igniting fear among supporters of the 'NBA on TNT' co-host. The 51-year-old took the photo of himself on Twitter with the caption: 'I'm always watching @TurnerSportsEJ and @Candace_Parker miss y'all.' Ernie Johnson and Candace Parker, his TNT co-hosts, are the Twitter handles. It's unclear why O'Neal is in the hospital. 'Love ya big Fella,' Parker wrote online.'

According to the New York Post, TNT has been known for including some of NBA fans' favorite retired NBA fans in their NBA coverage, and this has been replicated. On TNT's Tuesday night NBA coverage, a study that was revealed on Wednesday revealed that TNT has selected Jamal Crawford as the replacement for Dwayne Wade. Crawford, Shaquille O'Neal, Candace Parker, and host Adam Lefkoe will appear on Tuesday nights.
