Alyssa Thomas is finalizing a return to the Phoenix Mercury after a decade-long stint with the Connecticut Sun, sources confirm. The 33-year-old guard, known for her playmaking prowess, will join forces with Satou Sabally and Kahleah Copper to form a new offensive core. In Phoenix during the 2025 season, Thomas thrived as a point-forward, averaging 9.2 assists—a career high—while shooting 53.2% from the field and contributing 15.4 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

Her leadership and court vision earned her a sixth All-Star selection and third All-WNBA first-team honor.
