The Phoenix Mercury are well represented in Unrivaled Basketball, a 3v3 women’s basketball tournament airing on TNT and TruTV, with Satou Sabally, Kahleah Copper, and Alyssa Thomas set to play during Feb. 24 games.

The League was started by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, both participating members of the WNBA and Unrivaled. 

The first of two games will take place at 5:30 p.m. MT on TNT between Phantom Basketball Club and Rose Basketball Club, with the second game pitting Laces Basketball Club and Mist Basketball Club airing at 6:30 p.m. MT on TNT as well. 

 Satou Sabally will take the court for Phantom as they take on Kahleah Copper and Rose. Sabally is averaging 16.8 points per game and adding 6.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, while Copper is averaging 16.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

The matchup marks the second time the two new star teammates will face off against one another, with the first game taking place on Jan. 31. Sabally and Phantom got the better of Copper and Rose with a 75-63 victory. 

Alyssa Thomas will look to help Laces fortify their place in league standings, though Rose have put together a four game winning streak to enter a tie for second place with Laces. 

There are just three weeks remaining in the league’s inaugural regular season, with the playoffs scheduled to begin on Sunday, March 16. The top four teams in the standings of the six team league will advance to the semi-finals round before culminating in the first ever finals on Monday, March 17.
