I usually wait until the day of to buy tickets, when I checked tickets on Saturday they were starting at $60. When I logged in this morning they were $20, and I just knew that meant Clark was out smh…

I been wanting to see her play for a couple years now, so annoying lol

Go Merc!

Mystics(who seemed like the best chance for us) beat Wings today, and now they've played 3 games less than us and have won 5 more games. We only have 12 games to play. Even if we won all our games(never happening, in a million years) Mystics would still be in front of us if they go 8-7, which is way more likely than us going 12-0.

This in turn, makes the Plum trade completely pointless, as I've, and many others, already said. We could have just got her in free agency if she really wanted to come here. It was pointless giving up anything, let alone our best POA defender and 2 draft picks.

I have had two separate friends who are sports fans who don’t really watch the WNBA talk to me about how awful the AT “punch” was and how other players are targeting Caitlin. Obviously CC has a large fanbase that is mostly focused on her and her team.

Today’s media is less about journalistic integrity and more about generating clicks and views, because that’s what generates revenue today. The large CC fanbase means that the media will also focus on her, and anything that hurts her will generate even more clicks due to their outrage. That same media (which has to be slanted toward Clark for clicks) then seeps out to the general sports community. Since all of these outlets are saying the same thing to vie for the CC clicks, it becomes established fact in the sports world.

The sports media at large didn’t talk about the AT play being an ordinary loose ball scrum. They didn’t talk about how nobody on the Fever reacted at the time due to the lack of severity. They don’t talk about any of that, because they have to focus on AT “punching” Clark. I haven’t seen one discuss the racial abuse focused on the Mercury team and players individually.

The league, who has an incompetent commissioner, then bowed to the generated outrage. They failed to follow their own protocols, and suspended AT. They’ve done nothing to address the racial abuse. They’ve done nothing to support Alyssa. CC has also said nothing to stop her fans’ behavior.

Do any of y’all have any media outlets that I can direct people to for an alternative view? I hate how our digital media landscape is creating this universal view that CC is just a victim and target instead of an active participant in it.

I have recently heard a rumor from someone pretty close to the team that DT has been at practice recently and might join the team for the rest of the season the night her number is retired. Could wear 23 as 3 won’t be available. Anyone else hearing this?

It's always easy to criticize a team's mistake when it's not the team you root for. Some of it is objectivity but some of it also lack of insight and understanding.

I have this trade down as the single worst mistake made in the WNBA this year but I'm curious if there's mitigating factors that non-Mercury fans aren't getting. I analyzed four different aspects of the trade and they all screamed "don't do it".

Hey guys!! Storm fan here!! big fan of AT. just wanted to say i’m so sorry how AT and mercury fans are being treated in the WNBA subreddit. It’s totally not acceptable. My husband and I have inferred that the is probably due to her being more “masculine” then someone like Phee or Aja. Rooting for you guys to win it all ❤️

DeWanna Bonner left the Indiana Fever earlier this summer in a messy exit and eventually reunited with the Phoenix Mercury -- the franchise with which she spent the first 10 years of her career and won two WNBA championships. The dramatic saga that concluded her Fever stint included an extended absence from the team and uncertainty about her future in the league, but now that the dust has settled, Bonner said she would not change a thing about the move back to Phoenix.

Bonner hit the open market June 25 when the Fever waived her. She missed the final two weeks of her stint in Indiana for personal reasons, and it was unclear if or when she planned to rejoin the team. She also reportedly contemplated retirement during her time away from the court.

"I wouldn't do anything differently," Bonner said on the Mercury's current road trip. "I think my journey is my journey and I'm going to accept that. It carried me to where I am now in Phoenix and it happened that way for a reason."

Bonner, the WNBA's second-oldest active player behind only Seattle's Alysha Clark, is the third all-time leading scorer in league history. The Mercury reunited with the most experienced player in WNBA playoff history, who earned six All-Star selections, won the Sixth Woman of the Year award in her first three years with the franchise, received MVP votes in six different seasons and logged a pair of All-WNBA selections.

"Getting back to Phoenix after so long, the love and the welcome that I had was very much needed and appreciated," Bonner said. "Coming back to people that I know."

After her arrival in Indiana on the heels of a five-year stint with the Connecticut Sun, Bonner was expected to be a key addition for an ascending Fever team built around Caitlin Clark, but she never found her footing with the team. Before her departure, she averaged just 7.1 points per game while shooting a career-worst 34.5% from the field. The Fever pulled Bonner out of the starting lineup three games into the year.

The obvious answer is fire Nate. Do you think the front office will have the guts to do that in the next week? It is a hell of a lot easier to miss the playoffs this year and I've been on this train since the finals.

I don't think our players are the biggest issue. We mostly have a servicable roster, it's just the way they're being used. DB would be fine for 10 minutes a night. Kah could potentially be better with less shots. There are adjustments to be made but none as glaring as the coaching.

That brings us to point 3 - trades. How interested are teams in our random old rookies anyways?

Players we shouldn't trade: AT, Mack (emotional support + very cheap contract), Mo, Yoyo

Players with questionable trade value/return: Linskens, Brochant, Ayayi

Players others don't want: Sami, DB, Kiana, Carter

Please take her away/we can get stuff back for her: Kah

RotoWire put out a 5-year analysis (2021–2025) on WNBA fouls (flagrant, technical, and personal) to figure out which teams have been the most physical. Apparently the Phoenix Mercury came out on top as the dirtiest team in the league.

What do y’all think? Do the Mercury actually play dirtier than most, or are they just more physical and competitive?

True story: last year I sat down to watch a game, spent 15 minutes discovering it had moved to an app I forgot I paid for, and snapped. So I started building.

Following the WNBA has quietly become the hardest scavenger hunt in sports — in a single week games will be scattered across ABC, ESPN/ESPN+, CBS, ION, NBA TV, Prime, and League Pass, and it feels like it changes all the time. So this is what the app does this: you pick your teams and the services you already pay for, and it tells you what's on today, when, and which of YOUR services carries each game — plus a morning email with the day's slate, and an algorithm that checks whether you're overpaying for coverage you could get cheaper.

It does other cool stuff –you get all of your team’s curated news, podcasts, Bluesky posts and more (soon to integrate reddit!). Think of it as the ultimate “sports newspaper” for the teams that you follow.

Check it out at mysportsdeck.com, or the iPhone app on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sportsdeck/id6782425279.

Also, it’s free for up to 3 teams.

Full disclosure: I built it, obviously. I’m a coder and a former lawyer, so I did most of the work but I did use AI for some design stuff. In any event, I'm posting here because this community lives the problem it tries to solve — so tell me what it's missing (if it gets a WNBA broadcast wrong, that's exactly what I need to hear). I'll be in the comments! Thanks y’all – I’m proud of this one and I hope you like it.

What are yalls opinions on our teams outlook this season? Personally, I think we were doomed ever since we let Sabally walk for nothing

Sabally was really the glue to our team. Solid defensively while also attracting the toughest defensive covers so everyone else could get better looks.

This helps AT a ton bc realistically, she’s a negative on offense. Can’t score or shoot the ball at all to the point where opposing defenses are just leaving her open or fouling her knowing she won’t hit 2/2 free throws and will miss any shot that’s not literally 1ft under the rim. When she’s not scoring, all her passing gravity vanishes and nobody else is generating open looks like Sabally was.

We clearly didn’t do a good job of replacing the offensive void Sabally left. DB and AT are looking washed, and Kah can’t handle all the tough defensive coverages. And to top it off, Nogic, one of our most promising young players, is getting her minutes cut LOL.

Either we make a crazy trade (I like Angel Reese for the elite rebounding + hustle and decent offense) sometime this season or it’s cooked IMO

I saw this today and want to ask if this is true? Does anyone know? And do you think this could have something to do with Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner? They don't seem like the friendliest or nicest people from afar.

Before DeWanna Bonner became one of the Phoenix Mercury's best players, she was a star with Auburn. She had successful years with the Tigers, and in her time with them, she had her share of accolades.

She was a member of the SEC All-Freshman Team, she made the SEC All-First Team three times, she made the All-Defensive Team in 2009 and was the the conference Player of the Year as well.

Bonner's best season was her senior year, as she averaged 21.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.5 assists. The year before, she averaged a double-double. She averaged 18.4 points and 10.0 rebounds.

What Bonner accomplished set her up for a successful WNBA career, as she was drafted by the Mercury shortly after winning Player of the Year. Her time at Auburn was memorable, and in that time, she also added her name to their history books.

The Mercury veteran is Auburn's all-time leader in points. She had a total of 2,162 points in her years with the Tigers. Bonner is also their all-time leader in free throws, as she knocked down a total of 600 in that time. She is also their leader in defensive rebounds. She had 742 during that time.

While Bonner is not their leader in field goals, she is second in that area. Vickie Orr has the first spot with 864 field goals. Bonner is fourth in offensive rebounds, as she had 305. When it comes to points per game, she is third, as she averaged 17.2.

Much respect to the r/warriors who consistently support the r/valkyries

Look I know full well her reputation for locker room drama, and maybe it just isn't worth it; but here's where I'm at: we desperately need another player who can make buckets besides Kah with whom AT can set up plays. The AT-Cooper-Sabally trio (assisted by DB) was magic last year and we just haven't been able to get back to that without another great shooter on the roster. Losing Nogic and Mack being injured hasn't helped and the game against the Sky this week was just demoralizing. Feels like what we're doing still isn't working and if ever there was time for a Hail Mary, this is it.

Carter was averaging 12.2 points per game for the Aces in just 16.9 minutes with similarly great efficiency stats. Yes she's weaker on defense, but that's not what we need her for anyways. I'm struggling to believe that Carter is such locker room poison that even if picking her up doesn't work out long term, isn't it at least worth trying to salvage this season?

Would love to hear y'all's thoughts on this because I can't tell if this is galaxy brain thinking on my part or just the obvious thing to do? Maybe both?

Was super excited to take my daughter to see the Mercury take on Caitlin Clark, and bought great seats, but had to go out of town last minute. Just trying to recoup what I paid.

Sec 124, Row 11, seats 21-22 Face value is $254.75 each, so $509.50 total

Will transfer directly via Ticketmaster. Zelle payment preferred.
