Which team did Candace Parker face when she recorded her first WNBA triple-double in 2017?

Candace Parker faced the San Antonio Stars when she recorded her first WNBA triple-double in 2017.

Playing for the Los Angeles Sparks on July 28, 2017, Parker produced 11 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 assists in an 85–73 victory over San Antonio. The performance made her the sixth player in WNBA history to record a triple-double.

Her 17 rebounds were particularly notable because they set a WNBA record for the most rebounds in a triple-double at that time. Parker’s all-around game was a major part of her reputation as a forward who could score, rebound, pass, and defend.

The San Antonio Stars later became the Las Vegas Aces after relocating and changing their identity. That franchise history can make the opponent’s name easy to misremember when looking back at the 2017 game.
