LAS VEGAS — Kahleah Copper made her return to the court against the Las Vegas Aces on June 15, and Phoenix Mercury fans were happy to have their all-star back.

Copper missed the first 11 games of the season due to a left knee injury, and fans voiced their excitement on social media.

Kahleah is BACK!! Finally tuned into Aces vs. Mercury and it’s so good seeing both Kahleah Copper and Natasha Mack back in the lineup. That energy is different when they’re on the floor #WNBA

Alyssa Thomas is making the Mercury look like a serious contender! And with Kahleah Copper returning soon, Phoenix is about to get even more dangerous. This team is good #MercuryRising #WNBA
