Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner is testing the free agency market for the first time and has left people speculating on social media.

It’s unclear whether Diana Taurasi, the face of the Mercury, will play in her 21st season with Phoenix. What lies ahead for the franchise?

The Connecticut Sun have emerged as the early front-runners to land Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner in WNBA free agency.

Devin Booker scored the game-high 32 points and Kevin Durant had 24 to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 108-84 win at the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday to conclude a five-game road trip.

BROOKLYN – Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal is ruled out of Wednesday’s game against Brooklyn at Barclays Center with a left ankle sprain after playing Monday at Cleveland following a two-game absence with the injury. “There’s soreness,” Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said before Wednesday’s game. “He's unable to go."

Cloud’s public recruiting pitch comes at a pivotal time. Remember that although Sabally is poised to enter free agency, she isn’t entirely free to leave Dallas just yet. Under the WNBA’s core designation, Dallas retains exclusive negotiating rights with her. The Wings recently officially extended a core qualifying offer to Sabally.

As some of the biggest WNBA stars are competing in Unrivaled amid free agency, there’s a lot of speculation surrounding market movements. In that scenario, a Phoenix Mercury veteran will listen to offers for the first time.
