Hammon, a six-time WNBA all-star point guard, spent the final seven of her 16 seasons in San Antonio. She later joined Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich’s staff in 2014, becoming only the second female assistant to coach in NBA history.

Mitchell, who lost his battle with cancer in June 2011 at age 55, was the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 15th overall pick in the 1978 NBA Draft, but was later traded to the San Antonio Spurs in 1981.

The former Spurs star spent seven of his 10 NBA seasons with the Spurs, averaging 20.1 points per game during his time in a silver and black uniform while leading the team in scoring for the 1984-85 season.

Mitchell also is known for teaming up with Spurs stars George Gervin and later with Artis Gilmore, helping San Antonio win back-to-back Midwest Division titles.
