PHOENIX -- The Mercury are getting some upgrades and honoring a legend of the team and league. Phoenix opened their new 58,000-square-foot, $100 million practice facility on Thursday with two courts featuring a logo of Diana Taurasi.

"This week, I've had a lot of time to reflect with the Olympic team, the All-Star Game here," said the three-time WNBA champion and 11-time WNBA All-Star. "It's a special place. Mat [Ishbia] has made it a point to make sure the history of this franchise, both the Suns and Mercury, live forever."

The facility is located in downtown Phoenix and will be available for players and staff 24/7. The courts feature 10 baskets and built-in courtside technologies that can provide the team with real-time performance analytics. 

However, players can also enjoy other perks before and after practice. The facility has everything from a full kitchen with a private chef, to a hydrotherapy room with hot and cold plunge pools. The locker rooms have vanity stations stocked up with toiletries, a steam room, sauna and wellness room.
