The Phoenix Mercury are trying to run it back after a trip to the 2025 WNBA Finals, but they’ll be doing it without Satou Sabally, who left in free agency for New York. So now what? On today’s PHNX Mercury show, we’re breaking down all of Phoenix’s offseason moves, from bringing back Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, DeWanna Bonner and Sami Whitcomb to adding more depth and taking another swing overseas with Valériane Ayayi and Noémie Brochant. Is this enough to keep the Mercury in the title mix, or did Satou’s exit change everything? We’re talking roster fit, training camp battles, who needs to step up, and what this team could actually look like in 2026.
Welcome to PHNX Mercury, where we make it more fun to be a Mercury fan!
