12th fastest in games, but took her over a decade from when she was drafted. One man's fast is another man's snail's pace. |

At 20 points per game (slightly above her career average) it would take her about a season and a half - 50 games, so we could see it at the end of next season.

And are you counting on her to do something at 39 that she's only done once, since she was 31?

Realistically, if Taurasi were to average 15 PPG for the rest of her career, starting now, it would take her about 66 games to get to 10k. And realistically, she'd get there by the end of the 2023 season, as one would likely have to account for her missing a few games (due to rest, injury, dental work, what have you) between now & then.
Otherwise, if Taurasi can't get to 10k, who would be the next best candidate to be the first one to get there? Or just a candidate to get there in general? Tina Charles has been pretty durable, and given how she's been playing, I think she could certainly last another 6 seasons or so after this one. (Charles currently is at 6,338 points after about 10.5 seasons of work thus far, and could get there in her next approx. 199 games if she maintains her 18.4 PPG average for the rest of her career.)
Eventually, way down the line, I can see A'ja Wilson and/or Arike Ogunbowale getting there as well. Durability will be the name of the game, though.
Still hope Taurasi's the first to 10k, though, given her widely-recognized GOAT status. It would be a fabulous achievement for Charles to be the first nonetheless, but it just wouldn't have that same pop like it would with DT3.

She's not really slowing down much. She took 57 games to go from 6000 to 7000, 58 games from 7000 to 8000, and 55 games from 8000 to 9000.

It’s gotta be taking longer time-wise to reach into 50+ games since she’s been injured for the last couple of years.

I would say it is not so much durability, but longevity. Taurasi is still playing at an elite level - and as an elite scorer - at 40. Players like Augustus, Moore, Pondexter, etc., might have seemed like they could do it early in their careers, but none played at that level long enough.

Imo durability leads to longevity. It seems to me that players in general will just choose to keep playing so long as their body allows for it, and if their body allows for it, then they can usually keep up playing at a high or at least a pretty good level. Obviously some players will retire while at the top of their game (or at least not on the downturn), but in this case, if 10k points is a feat that a player wouldn't mind achieving while they're still feeling good & playing well, and they were somewhat close to achieving it (closer than most, anyway), they probably would just go for it.
