SBD Short: WNBA ruined by night of passion.

Posted on January 10th, 2009. Written by Emmett Jones.

The WNBA is officially over.  The future of the WNBA, Los Angeles Sparks forward Candace Parker, is pregnant.  Former Duke star/NBA bench stalwart Shelden Williams, Parker’s husband is the father.  The WNBA’s site has more,

This spring, she and husband Shelden Williams of the Sacramento Kings are expecting their first child.

“Shelden and I are very excited to be expanding our family,” said Parker. “We feel blessed and look forward to becoming parents.”

“We are happy to welcome a new addition into the Sparks family and on behalf of the entire organization we congratulate both Candace and Shelden,” said Penny Toler, Los Angeles Sparks General Manager.

Parker will continue to work out in preparation to participate in the 2009 WNBA season.

So, Parker plans on playing…but how are those WNBA promos going to look if she’s 5 months pregnant?  I will ask the elephant in the room question…You think the higher-ups in WNBA wish that Parker wasn’t married? Or maybe that she hadn’t decided to start a family so soon?  I mean, its not like the WNBA is pulling in terribly high numbers anyway…now that the person who is arguably its most marketable star is pregnant…what is their next move?
