PHOENIX -- Mercury guard Diana Taurasi will be out indefinitely with a strained left hip flexor, the club announced Thursday. Taurasi did not travel with the team to Atlanta for Thursday night's game against the Dream. She will be re-evaluated daily.
Taurasi sustained the injury during training camp after reporting just seven days before the season opener following a full Eurolegue season in Turkey and training camp with the U.S. Olympic team. She missed the season opener at Minnesota due to the injury and played just 10 minutes at Tulsa in the team's second game. She played 26 minutes and scored 18 points in Phoenix's home opener, a loss to Los Angeles.
Thursday night's game against Atlanta will be broadcast on FOX Sports Arizona, with tip-off scheduled for 4 p.m. Phoenix plays in San Antonio on Friday against the Silver Stars before returning home for a rematch with Tulsa on Sunday at 3 p.m.
