The Phoenix Mercury are building their team.
On Friday, the Merc acquired Satou Sabally to create a “Big 3” with Kahleah Copper, who was a second-team All-WNBA pick last season, and Alyssa Thomas, among the candidates for the WNBA’s Most Valuable Player award in 2024 and a top-five MVP finalists in each of the last three years. Thomas, who is a tremendous facilitator, should be an impactful player for the Mercury, who traded for her on Tuesday.
