WNBA superstar Candace Parker has just been hit with divorce papers from her husband, a former NBA player, who's demanding spousal support from the 2016 Finals MVP ... TMZ Sports has learned.
We obtained court docs filed by Shelden Williams -- a former Duke star who was the #5 overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft. Williams played in the NBA for 6 seasons.
Williams and Parker were married back in 2008 -- and have a 7-year-old daughter together.
According to the divorce docs, Williams says the two separated back in August and are living apart.
