The Phoenix Mercury have announced that three-time all star, 40-year old Diana Taurasi would miss the remainder of the season with a quad strain. Taurasi the league's all time scorer has been averaging 16.7 points and 3.9 assists per game. 

Those numbers, which are on the low side for Taurasi are still high enough to put her second on the team in both categories behind teammate Skylar Diggins.

Taurasi had been initially listed as 'questionable' heading into the Mercury's last two games, with head coach indicating before Saturday's game against the Liberty that Taurasi was being evaluated that day to see if she would be able to take the floor.
