PHOENIX (AP) — They have become the faces of the Phoenix Mercury through a dozen years together, sharing the elation of a WNBA championship in 2014, the pride of winning three Olympic gold medals together and the heartbreak of losses, injuries and off-the-court issues.
Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner.
“It's been amazing,” Griner said with a wistful grin. “I don't want it to come to end.”
Now the pair might be down to its last, best chance to make one more basketball memory. The Mercury have a 16-15 record, they're relatively healthy and they're focused on building momentum as they prepare for a potentially deep run in the WNBA playoffs that begin in late September.
