NEW YORK (AP) — Diana Taurasi is staying in Phoenix while Alysha Clark is heading across the country to join the Washington Mystics. Both signed on the first day that WNBA free agents could officially ink deals. Taurasi has played her entire career with the Mercury and there was no real expectation she would leave the team that drafted her in 2004. Clark won two titles in Seattle. Other moves included Cheyenne Parker signing with Atlanta and Jantel Lavender joining the Indiana Fever.
