Can we talk about this win for a minute?
Down two starters. 1-for-16 from three against the top team in the league. DBโs first game back with the Merc.
Special win with a special team.
First dub of the road trip! ๐

Lots of "great teammate" talk about Sami Whitcomb from players & Nate Tibbetts this season.
Leadership sometimes is subtle, but always intentional.
She pulled up today wearing a Kahleah Copper Perfumerรญas Avenida jersey.
If you didn't know, Kahleah Copper was there in the 2021-22 season, & won:
๐ Euroleague MVP
๐ Spanish League MVP
๐ Spanish League championship
Seems like an effort to support Kahleah, but also remind her for who she is & can always be, when at her best โ to help break the slump.
Last season, Sami Whitcomb supported Maggie's Place, an non-profit that empowers pregnant women and mother's facing homelessness, by volunteering multiple times throughout the 2025 season. To kickoff her support in 2026, Bell Bank and Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation partnered to donate $5,000 each to support programs that transform families and communities across the Valley.
The Phoenix Mercury have signed guard Kiana Williams to a developmental contract. In a corresponding move, the team has released guard Shay Ciezki from her developmental contract.
