PHOENIX -- WNBA star Diana Taurasi has completed her jail time in connection to a DUI ticket.

The Phoenix Mercury guard spent one day behind bars after the judge dropped nine days of the possible 10-day sentence as part of a plea deal.

Taurasi was pulled over in Central Phoenix back in July, She was allegedly speeding -- nearly 20 mph over the posted speed limit -- and weaving.

Officers conducted a sobriety check on the scene. Her blood-alcohol content was later determined to be .17, more than twice the legal limit.

In addition to the extra days, the judge also also dropped charges of extreme DUI and speeding.

Taurasi pleaded guilty to DUI on Oct. 12.
