WNBA legend Diana Taurasi revealed she wants to become part of the ownership group for the Phoenix Mercury, the franchise that is retiring her No. 3 jersey on Sunday. She said she wants to join the ownership group within the next year or two.
"Ownership is always something that's always been on my mind," Taurasi said Friday. "So, thankfully, I'm in a great place where it hopefully can evolve into something. But, I don't want to just do it and not be around. When I do it, I want to be around because I want to have an influence on where this franchise goes. And obviously being in Phoenix would be the goal."
This week, the Mercury is honoring Taurasi's career and legacy leading up to a jersey retirement ceremony and her induction into the Mercury Ring of Honor on Sunday.
On Thursday, Phoenix unveiled a street sign at the Mortgage Matchup Center that says "10646 Taurasi Way", reflecting Taurasi's WNBA-record 10,646 career points. On Friday, she participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a court that has been renamed Diana Taurasi Court and designed with a logo of the No. 3 and a goat.
As a player, Taurasi helped the Mercury win three WNBA championships and was an 11-time WNBA All-Star. Although she is no longer contributing to the growth of the league on the court, Taurasi will likely step into an ownership role in the near future.
