Comments 0 | Recommend 0Former Lady Vol Will Play Her First Game Sunday
Candace Parker is returning to action for the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday when they host the Phoenix Mercury.
The team said on Friday that last season's WNBA MVP and rookie of the year will be in the lineup for the first time since giving
birth to her daughter on May 13.
Parker, who played college ball for Tennessee, was cleared by doctors to begin practicing Tuesday. She has not played at all this season.
