The Phoenix Mercury found some talented players this year. They added stars in Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas , and both players have noteworthy seasons. Phoenix also found players like Monique Akoa Makani and Kathryn Westbeld. They signed those players to training camp deals, and they established themselves with solid performances. The Mercury signed other players to deals, and while some of them did not make the final roster, there were some who made it. However, those players were waived at different points. For example, Murjanatu Musa made the roster, and she played 12 games with the Mercury before she was waived. Megan McConnell also spent time with the team, as she played a game with them. She made her debut against the Minnesota Lynx, and she had three points, three assists, a rebound and a steal. She was off to a good start, but she suffered an injury later in the game. McConnell was waived, and a few month later, she started playing overseas. Before playing for Phoenix, McConnell attended Duquesne.
