FILE - In this Aug. 26, 2018, file photo, Phoenix Mercury's Diana Taurasi brings the ball up against the Seattle Storm during the first half of a WNBA basketball playoff game in Seattle. Taurasi admits she’s been fortunate throughout her basketball career not to have been injured often. Until this season, she’s only had to really miss games one other time due to injuries and that was in 2012 when she sat out the first 16 games to recover from hip flexor and ankle injuries. This year’s been different. She missed the first part of the season recovering from back surgery. After she returned for one game in Connecticut, she tweaked her hamstring and didn’t come back until last week. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson, File)
