WNBA star Lisa Leslie is expecting her first child with husband Michael Lockwood.

The center for the Los Angeles Sparks is due in June, the Associated Press reports, and will sit out the 2007 WNBA season.

Leslie, 34, and Lockwood, 41, a pilot and former Air Force basketball player, wed in Maui in November 2005.

The 6'5" three-time league MVP said she doesn't know her baby's sex, and has had an easy pregnancy so far. "I've been working out," she told the AP. "I haven't been sick."

As for sitting out the upcoming season, Leslie said, "I will be cheering my teammates on." The three-time Olympic gold medalist said she plans to return to the court in 2008.
