Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury had their season come to an end Wednesday night with a 101-88 loss to the Minnesota Lynx in Game 2 of their playoff series. Now we wait to find out if it was also the final game of Taurasi's legendary basketball career.

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.
