Phoenix Mercury all-time great Diana Taurasi announces retirement in Time magazine and on 'The View,' saying she'd lost her edge after 20 years.

Plans for the Mercury’s future started to come to light last offseason. In February 2024, they acquired Copper, the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP and multi-time All-Star, from the Chicago Sky. She had led the Sky to the title over the Mercury.

Diana Taurasi is retiring after 20 seasons, ending one of the greatest careers in women's basketball history. The WNBA's career scoring leader and a three-time league champion, Taurasi announced her retirement on Tuesday in an interview with Time magazine.
