When the game ended, the lights dimmed in the seating areas as the spotlight beamed on Taurasi at center court. Before she addressed the crowd, a tribute video for Taurasi played on the screen above. It was the same video that the Mercury social media account posted to X on Thursday afternoon, teasing a potential retirement announcement.

Diana Taurasi tired to address the Phoenix Mercury crowd, but was interrupted. They wanted her to play one more year.

Diana Taurasi is undecided on her future with the Mercury, but that won't stop the speculation that Thursday is the final home game of her career.
