Three-time WNBA champion Diana Taurasi is signing a multi-year deal to return to the Phoenix Mercury, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
According to the Arizona Republic's Jeff Metcalfe, the deal will carry Taurasi at least into the 2022 season, when she turns 40, and will give her a chance to reach 10,000 career points. Taurasi is the WNBA career-leader in points scored with 8,931 points.
According to the Republic, she is expected to receive a super max deal, which pays $221,450 this year and $227,900 in 2022, both the most of her WNBA career.
