WNBA star Diana Taurasi did not officially announce, her retirement but the Mercury are teasing the possibility.
The 2024 WNBA season will come to a close on Thursday, Sept. 19, and Phoenix will host the Storm in the finale.
Even though Taurasi has not recently commented on calling it a career, the Mercury’s social media team has been running a promotion hinting that it could be her final home game.
Phoenix already qualified for the playoffs, locking up the No. 7 seed and a first-round date with the No. 2 Lynx. Since the first two games of the best-of-three series are in Minnesota, there is a chance the regular season finale is the Mercury’s last home game of the year.
Will Thursday be Taurasi’s send-off in Phoenix? The Sporting News takes a closer look below.

Is Diana Taurasi retiring?
Taurasi has not officially announced her retirement, but the Mercury social media team is certainly preparing itself for her departure.
They have been running an “If this is it” campaign for weeks, imploring fans to come and watch Taurasi one last time in case she does hang ’em up after the 2024 season.
Your drive, dreams, and dominance created joy for all of us.
Our last regular season home game…
