TNT Sports & Candace Parker Reach Multi-Year Extension

Two-Time WNBA MVP to Continue as Analyst for NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship & Unrivaled

Expanded Role to Also Include Contributions to TNT Sports' Regular Season Men's & Women's College Basketball Coverage

TNT Sports has reached a multi-year extension with Candace Parker, one of the most decorated basketball players of all-time, for an expanded role across its basketball portfolio.

The three-time WNBA Champion and two-time WNBA MVP will continue as an analyst for TNT Sports and CBS Sports' NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship coverage, a position she's held since 2019.

Additionally, Parker - a two-time National Player of the Year at Tennessee - will expand her college sports commentating duties to include serving as an analyst for TNT Sports' inaugural seasons of BIG EAST men's and women's basketball and Big 12 men's basketball.

Parker will also continue as a lead studio analyst for TNT Sports' coverage of Unrivaled. She will also continue to contribute to Bleacher Report and its B/R W platform.

"I'm grateful to keep doing what I love with my TNT Sports family," said Parker. "Getting to cover the Big EAST, Big 12, March Madness, and now Unrivaled - it all means a lot. These moments are special, and I don't take any of it for granted."

"Candace is one of the most respected figures in basketball and we're excited to expand the ways she connects with fans through a growing number of TNT Sports properties," said Nate Smeltz, Senior Vice President, Talent Relations & Global Communications, TNT Sports.

Parker was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks in 2008, following a championship career at the University of Tennessee, where she led the Lady Vols to consecutive NCAA Championships in 2007 and 2008. During the 2008-09 WNBA season, she became the first player to earn WNBA MVP and Rookie of the Year honors in the same season.

In 2016, Parker led the L.A. Sparks to a WNBA Championship, in which she was named WNBA Finals MVP. She added two more titles in 2021 and 2023, along with being elected to seven All-Star teams before retiring in April 2024. Parker also led Team USA Women's Basketball to back-to-back Olympic gold medals in the 2008 and 2012 Games.

Parker was named to the WNBA's W25 list of greatest and most influential players and has been an integral part of TNT's basketball coverage since 2019.

Beyond the court, Parker is part of the NWSL's Angel City FC ownership group and was named President of Women's Basketball for adidas following her retirement.
