Complete coverage: Comets in 2004 Comets All-Star forward Tina Thompson on Friday announced she will miss part of the 2005 WNBA season because of pregnancy. "At this moment, I won't be starting the beginning of the season with the Comets," Thompson said. "I'm planning to have a child, and I do have expectations of returning back to the team as soon as I possibly can. "I know that I will definitely be out, or not interacting with the team in a physical way, until (after) the end of May, because that's the expected time (of birth)." Thompson, 29, her partner, former University of Houston guard Damon Jones who plays for the Miami Heat, have learned from doctors the baby is a boy. Thompson, who was on last year's U.S. Olympic gold medal team, has placed no target date for her return to the Comets, saying it will happen only "when I'm physically ready. I don't want to come back and be a hindrance to the team." Coach Van Chancellor is "pleased for Thompson, and we're going to welcome her back when she's able to come back." When the WNBA was formed in 1997, Thompson, a product of Southern Cal, was the first college player drafted. In eight seasons, all with the Comets, Thompson has averaged nearly 16 points per game. The Comets open training camp in early May. The first game is May 21 at San Antonio. william.stickney@chron.com
