"After evaluating the landscape together with my family, we've decided the Las Vegas Aces are the right organization for us at this point in our lives." The former longtime Los Angeles Sparks star spent the last two seasons playing in her hometown of Chicago, helping bring the Sky their first title in 2021, ESPN reported. The Aces are coming off a franchise-first title this past season. Parker will join a core of two-time MVP A'ja Wilson, first-team All-WNBA Kelsey Plum and Finals MVP Chelsea Gray.
"When I made the decision to go to Chicago in 2021, I made the decision to go home and be with my family in the place where it all began. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to win a championship in my hometown and parade down the same streets I watched the Bulls parade down as a young girl first falling in love with the game of basketball," She wrote. "I'm forever appreciative of everyone in Chicago -- our fans, teammates, coaches, and ownership.
