Becky Hammon was supposed to be the marquee player for the NWBL's Colorado Chill. In fact, if not for Hammon, the Chill might not even exist. But Becky has yet to play a game for Colorado because the New York Liberty doctors won't clear her.

Chill owner Dave King is extremely frustrated. "The Liberty and their doctor are taking protocols that are slower than the industry standard. She's under their care. We can't get her release; she's under their workman's comp claim. They've stalled everything. We're past what I would consider the norm. "

Hammon, meanwhile, remains a free agent in the WNBA. Houston and Indiana have made some preliminary offers, but it would be very surprising if she didn't end up back in New York.
