The new-look Phoenix Mercury will host the young Dallas Wings when the teams open their WNBA seasons Sunday at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix.
The Mercury added 10 new players to their core duo of guard Diana Taurasi and center Brittney Griner. Taurasi enters her 13th WNBA season on the brink of two major league records.
Taurasi is third in career scoring with 7,311 points, needing 178 to break the mark of 7,488 held by Tina Thompson. Taurasi also needs seven 3-pointers to break the league career mark of 706, held by Katie Smith.
Phoenix added a key pair via trade — three-time All-Star point guard Danielle Robinson and 11-year WNBA veteran forward Camille Little.
