Sami Whitcomb re-signs with Phoenix Mercury on 2-year deal

Sami Whitcomb is re-signing with the Phoenix Mercury on a two-year contract, the team announced on Sunday.

The two-time WNBA Champion is back for her 10th year in the league and her second season in the desert.

Whitcomb, 37, played in 43 games (20 starts) in 2025 and averaged 9.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals.

She finished tied for seventh in the league with 86 3-pointers made (setting a team high) and just three off her single-season high she set in 2023 as a member of the Seattle Storm. Whitcomb became one of only two players in franchise history to make at least 80 3-pointers in a season (Diana Taurasi).

Last season, she also tied Kara Lawson for the most 3-pointers made off the bench in a career in WNBA history (306).

Earlier on Sunday, the Mercury officially announced the signings of Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper. The Mercury further signed Ashten Prechtel, Aisha Sheppard, Kianna Williams, Lauren Jensen, Morgan Maly and Kyara Linskens to training camp deals, Quionche Carter to a rookie-scale contract and Valeriane Ayayi to a deal on Sunday.

Training camp contracts do not count towards the salary cap unless the player makes the opening night roster.

Training camp begins on April 19, and the Mercury open the preseason on April 25 vs. the Sky. Phoenix will begin the regular season on May 9 with a WNBA Finals rematch at the Las Vegas Aces.
