Reeve said Collier will be on a minutes restriction.

Okay my take.

Was it a flagrant? Probably.

Retroactive suspension? Cmon?

Starting the season with a back to back went pretty much exactly as you would predict.

@WNBA did we learn nothing from last season?

[Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @StephenPG3]

The Phoenix Mercury have three players in ESPN's Top-50 for this upcoming WNBA season.

Alyssa Thomas - 2

Kahleah Copper - 12

DeWanna Bonner - 47

[Mercury Moment @MercuryMoment]

These power rankings are criminal. People must be forgetting we went to the finals.

While I’m sure we’ll miss the Unicorn, Kahleah is starting the year healthy.
