We are out of the playoffs mathematically. [Diana Taurasi] has played a lot of games over all these years, Europe, WNBA, Olympics. She needs a rest. Now (Alexis) Hornbuckle may be suspended; I don't know the ruling, but I know the rule is the President has to go back and look at the call to either fine or suspend.

Update from
@SBN_KHabbas: Taurasi may not continue sitting out if Hornbuckle is suspended.
