The Sacramento Bee said that former University of Tennessee basketball star Candace Parker and NBA player Shelden Williams, her fiance', eloped Nov. 13 at Lake Tahoe.

'We just decided that with both of our schedules, it would be better to elope,' Williams told the newspaper.

Parker, who plays for the Los Angeles Sparks, was named MVP and Rookie of the Year in September by the WNBA.

The newlyweds live in Sacramento with their three dogs
