With one of the craziest seasons on record in the books, the Phoenix Mercury go into the offseason hoping to regroup mentally.
No one could have predicted the course of the 2022 season for the Phoenix Mercury.
Griner's absence all season forced the team to redesign its playing style. And even when the team tried to work with the rest of its depth, it ended the season shorthanded for a number of reasons. First, there was Charles, who started off at center but her time in Phoenix was short-lived after she left through a contract divorce in late June.
Now, with the season completed following a first round exit to the top-seeded Las Vegas Aces, the Mercury go into the offseason hoping to regroup mentally and physically.There were constant reminders of Griner's absence and trials everywhere the Mercury turned this season. On the court, Turner had to play in Griner's place instead of continuing the chemistry the two had built over the years. Playing without Griner was hard on Turner, but it was made even harder when she would receive continued criticism on“It was definitely hard, but it was good to see BG’s name out there with all the courts saying BG 42 and a lot of teams wearing her shirts," Turner said."It was good to see her name was trending as it should be.
Her improvements even earned her the nickname of"Baby Penny" from Taurasi as Cunningham's play reminded her of Penny Taylor when she was with the Mercury as a 6-foot-1 power forward several years ago.
