“Diana’s achievement stands as a testament to her skill, determination, and unwavering dedication to the game, which along with her competitive nature, has captivated fans with her incredible scoring ability, clutch performances, and unparalleled basketball IQ. We are honored to witness this milestone.” Taurasi is a free agent next season but has not made the decision on whether or not to retire. The three-time champion was WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2004, has won five scoring titles, an Olympic gold medal, and made 10 WNBA All-Star appearances. Taurasi’s parents Lily and Mario watched her achieve her latest honor, but her wife, former WNBA player turned Mercury executive Penny Taylor and their children are in Australia for what Taurasi said were “family things.”1.
