An emotional Diana Taurasi said she'll have a clearer picture of her future once the season is over, but Thursday night at Footprint Center had all the makings of a send-off.

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 alluded to the possibility of retiring from the WNBA in front of Phoenix Mercury fans after the team's regular season finale.
