When Team USA clinched their eighth historic gold medal in Paris, they not only created glory for ourselves but also did a favor for the veteran on the squad who couldn’t make her presence in the Final. Diana Taurasi claimed the sixth Olympic gold of her illustrious career at 42. While that was the moment that initiated experts discussing her retirement, it seems that those conversations will soon turn into reality.

The Phoenix Mercury has recently posted a tweet on their official X account, which saw Diana Taurasi being the central topic. The post read, “𝐈𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐬 𝐈𝐭 You have two more opportunities to see the Greatest of All-Time at home.” While there is no official statement from the 3x WNBA champion yet, the tweet has potentially fueled the topic about the legend’s retirement.

The Mercury have already secured a playoff spot but have four regular-season games remaining. Among them, they’ll host the Connecticut Sun and the Seattle Storm at Footprint Arena. Whether they’ll have another home game in the playoffs will depend on the results of the first two fixtures against their seeded opponents. As for the Mercury GOAT, retirement from the national career already hit hard for the fans. Leaving the desert has also not been an inviting thought either. One fan commented on the post asking the franchise if the UConn alum is bidding adieu to the W as well.

“DT retiring??”
