Diana Taurasi, the leading scorer in WNBA history and voted “greatest of all time” by the league’s fans, announced her retirement Tuesday after 20 seasons.
Taurasi, 42, steps away as one of the most decorated players in women’s basketball history. She made an impact from her first moments at UConn in 2000, and she was still in the spotlight through the end of her WNBA career, helping lead the Phoenix Mercury to the playoffs this month.
In August, Taurasi became the first basketball player to win six Olympic gold medals.
