Door allegedly broken by Phoenix Mercury's Diana Taurasi a 'special guest' at Chicago Sky's victory rally
The shade is real in Chicago.
The Sky is celebrating their first WNBA title in franchise history on Tuesday after defeating the Phoenix Mercury 80-74 in Game 4 of the 2021 WNBA Finals.
And they brought a special guest to the party.
Remember the locker room door Mercury's Diana Taurasi allegedly broke at Wintrust Arena after the game in frustration? Well it made its appearance Tuesday at the Sky's championship parade and rally.
The Next Hoops reported Sunday that the door was "severely cracked through the middle" which was the result of "Taurasi slamming the doors multiple times" according to an eyewitness.
