At the age of 40, Taurasi is still making her presence felt on the court.
The Mercury guard notched 30 points off 7-of-18 shooting from the floor, 11-of-12 from the free throw line and 5-of-13 from beyond the arc as Phoenix earned a 90–80 road victory against the Sparks on Thursday. With the win, the three-time WNBA champion became the first player in WNBA history to record a 30-point game at the age of 40 or older, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
Taurasi joined NBA legends Michael Jordan and Dirk Nowitzki as the only players in NBA/WNBA history to accomplish the feat at that age.
