Aces coach Becky Hammon has been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Hammon, an undrafted guard out of Colorado State, played 16 seasons in the WNBA. She spent the first eight seasons of her career with the New York Liberty before finishing her career with the San Antonio Stars, the predecessor of the Aces.
In her first season as the Aces’ coach, Hammon guided the team to its first WNBA championship, becoming the first coach in league history to win the title in her debut campaign.
The formal announcement of the class of 2023 will be made Saturday at the Final Four in Houston.
The enshrinement ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 12 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
