There's a lot of intrigue about how the Phoenix Mercury will look this WNBA season, as they lost arguably the two biggest legends in their franchise's history.

A new era in Phoenix is off to a bumpy start. The Mercury open the 2025 season Saturday night without Diana Taurasi or Brittney Griner for the first time in more than two decades, and they will now be without Kahleah Copper for the foreseeable future.

Mercury guard Kahleah Copper, who was the WNBA's third-leading scorer last season, will miss four to six weeks after undergoing left knee arthroscopy, the team announced.
