“This week a hot new bombshell enters the villa,” the team wrote on X.
It did not appear everyone was on board, as the team has not exactly gotten off to a hot start following the team’s return to action from the Olympic break.
The Mercury lost to the Liberty on Monday 84-70. They are 3-3 since the league started up again. Cunningham had three points in the game.

Phoenix is likely to make the playoffs this season, barring a complete disaster at the end of the season. The Mercury are in sixth place in the WNBA standings – two games up in the win column over the Indiana Fever. The top eight teams make the postseason.
