Stiles, 26, was the 2001 WNBA rookie of the year and dreams of making it back to play on that stage. But that's the distant dream. The more immediate one is to just play basketball at all.

Tuesday in San Diego, she's to undergo what will be her 13th surgical procedure since she left SMS as the all-time leading scorer in women's basketball during the NCAA era. In 2001, it was magical for Stiles: setting the scoring record in Springfield, leading SMS to the Final Four in St. Louis and then moving on to the WNBA.

“It's been four years?” Stiles said, wistfully. “I can't believe it.”

She knows her body believes it, though. As she puts it, “I need a whole new right side.”

Brian Hargrove is still her main squeeze though. And Linda is at the Mystics, so Jackie should always be able to stick her foot in the door somewhere Confused

Stiles has had problems with her right shoulder, wrist, ankle and Achilles' tendon. This next surgery is to deal with the searing pain she feels in her Achilles' whenever she tries to push off on it for a jump shot.

And if this procedure doesn't work, Stiles thinks her basketball-playing days really are over.

“I thought I always had control of my career, that I could be just as good as I wanted to be if I worked hard enough,” she said. “But the injuries are something I don't have control of.”
