New street sign honors Diana Taurasi's WNBA-record scoring total

Diana Taurasi’s jersey number is now hanging in rafters of Mortgage Matchup Center, and another one of her numbers is hanging outside the arena.

In a weekend celebrating the retired Mercury star, a ceremonial street sign in Taurasi’s honor was updated. The “Taurasi Way” sign has been up for nine years. It was originally erected after Taurasi became the WNBA’s all-time scoring leader on June 18, 2017.

The ceremonial address of the arena got an update on Saturday. It changed from 7489, one more than the previous WNBA scoring record held by Tina Thompson, to reflect Taurasi’s final career points total: “10646 Taurasi Way.”
