The veteran guard who spent who this past NBA season as a Dallas Mavericks assistant prepares for her 13th WNBA season
LOS ANGELES — It’ll be the Dallas assistant coach vs. Dallas on Sunday.The Sparks’ veteran guard is the only active WNBA player working as an NBA assistant.
Meanwhile, it’s been an uphill slog for the Sparks, who are 5-8 entering play on the road against the Dallas Wings on Sunday, when Toliver is expected to make her debut in her 13th WNBA season. “A lot of new faces, a lot of people to kind of get used to,” Toliver acknowledged. “But I’m feeling very comfortable.”Forty-year coaching veteran Fred Williams was promoted to be the Sparks’ interim head coach last week after the team announced it was parting ways with Fisher. Toliver had just caught back up with the Sparks, joining her teammates – old and new – on the bench during a loss in Phoenix that proved to be Fisher’s final game with the team.
“And then it’s like anything,” Toliver added. “I think women’s basketball players are the most resilient, we’re just ready for the next thing, next challenge … you gotta keep it moving, there’s still a job to be done and I just gotta get used to my teammates and our coaches that we have here and rock and roll.”
