The Phoenix Mercury will be very different from the years spent when the season begins in the coming months. Diana Taurasi announced that she would retire after playing for mercury for 20 seasons. To add to that, Brittney Griner decided to sign with Atlanta’s dream in a free agency after spending his entire career with Mercury.
Although the team can be different, they will always be competitive because they have added reinforcements in a free agency, such as Sutou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas, who are old stars in its own right. Mercury has not finished adding talents, and Tuesday they announced the signing of an old choice of the top 10 of a training camp contract.
Goalkeeper Shyla Heal was signed for a training camp contract for Mercury, as well as Monique Akoa Makani and Alexis Prince. Heal was selected with the choice n ° 8 in the draft of the WNBA 2021 by the Sky of Chicago, appearing in just four games of its recruit season.
Last season, Heal played with Tarsus Belediyesi Mersin in Türkiye, where she collected on average 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 22 games. She also won a bronze medal with the OPALS at the FIBA Asia 2023 Cup.
Mercury will start its season at home on May 17 against the Seattle storm.
