Overview
- The Phoenix Mercury formally retired Diana Taurasi’s No. 3 and raised it into the team’s Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony at Mortgage Matchup Center.
- Taurasi, who spent 20 WNBA seasons with Phoenix and retired from playing after the 2025 season, delivered remarks thanking the city and fans for their support.
- The team and the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation unveiled a downtown mural, designated the street in front of the arena as 10466 Taurasi Way, and renovated three community courts with interactive and AR elements.
- The ceremony took place on Sunday during Phoenix’s game against the Portland Fire and included T-shirts on every seat and players and alumni in attendance.
- Taurasi’s No. 3 now hangs alongside four other retired Mercury numbers and her career record — three WNBA titles, a 2009 MVP, two Finals MVPs and more than 10,000 WNBA points — anchors her place in franchise and league history.
