Mercury Stars Preparing For Unrivaled Season

After a successful inaugural season, Unrivaled is back for another. The league's second season will begin in January 2026, and it will be even bigger than before. This season includes new faces, such as Paige Bueckers and Dominique Malonga will make their debut. Then, players like Aliyah Boston, Brittney Griner, Chelsea Gray and others are returning. The Phoenix Mercury will be represented once again, as Kahleah Copper, Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas are playing once again. Copper won a championship last season, as Rose BC defeated Vinyl in the championship game. They beat them 62-54, and although Phoenix's guard was out for that game, her team secured the win. Brittney Sykes was the team's leading scorer, as she had 21 points. Sabally played for Phantom BC last year, and while the team struggled, she had a good year. Phantom finished the season with a record of 4-10 after winning their last game. They beat Vinyl BC 80-74, and Sabally finished the game with 12 points, seven rebounds, an assist and a block.
