The Phoenix Mercury will open their first season in 21 years without Diana Taurasi. She’s busy at home enjoying the first few months of retirement. There’s also no Brittney Griner for the first time since 2012.

The Phoenix Mercury held their preseason media day on April 30 and introduced a few new players ahead of the WNBA season, including Kalani Brown.

Kahleah Copper is ready to lead a fast-paced new attack and an overhauled roster. She won a WNBA title alongside Candace Parker with Chicago in 2021.
