Kalani Brown talked about being a traditional center. I asked her how she’s planning to fit into the Mercury’s positional basketball. She joked and said “I don’t have a choice” but talked about how Nate Tibbetts is challenging her to expand her game.

DeWanna Bonner told Eliav Gabay if she has any advice navigating a teammate relationship after the news with Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers. “I feel my personal relationship is my personal relationship. AT (Alyssa Thomas) and I have been doing this for a long time. I feel like we know how to handle things. We handle business when it’s business, and we have our relationship… I just feel like it’s personal preference and whatever that people feel like they need to do in their relationship to keep it going, that’s what they do.”

I asked Alyssa Thomas about the Connecticut Sun planning to honor her later this season. “I spent 11 years of my career there. If you didn’t play there, you don’t understand Connecticut and what it meant to play there. So, I’m just honored to to be honored by such a great franchise. Like I said, I gave my whole career to that franchise.”

The Mercury are on a back to back between playing Vegas and Golden State on Friday. I asked Satou Sabally how she would describe the league’s scheduling. “Terrible. It’s like they don’t care about player safety… We’ll play tomorrow. We’re professional. We’ll do it.”

Spoke with Cheryl Reeve about her team’s NET rating (1st in the league at 10.3) and what she believes is the reasoning. “That’s probably an hour-long interview… there’s many times you put a team together and it just doesn’t work, and we’ve been fortunate that this team in particular, I didn’t know that we’d find a starting five that had more chemistry and synergy than the last two years of ‘24 and ‘25.”

I asked Valériane Ayayi about her FIBA clearance after missing the first two games and if there was anything she could share about that process. “The club I played for, in Prague, didn’t release my letter of clearance because I opted out of my contract. So, there’s no more things that I can say because we are still on the procedure. But yeah, this was them blocking me actually because they didn’t want me to opt out.”

Kayla McBride was emotionally distraught after Game 4, and explained what she’s feeling. “We lay it out for each other. There’s never anything else, but each other. To be close, and hit adverse situations two years in a row, shit fucking hurts.”

I asked Satou Sabally why she and the Mercury enjoy being underestimated. “To me, it’s a disrespect to what those two (Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas) have done. They’re gold medalists. They’re all-stars. To put disrespect on people who have literally been in the league for so long, that just fuels us.”

Jordan Ott spoke to the conversation he had with Dillon Brooks midway through the third quarter. The latter was shouting at Ott about the previous possession where he had a mismatch and wasn’t found. “He told me I sucked in so many words that I messed up the last couple of possessions on who to get involved with him. He was right.” “A lot of times I’m just smiling. The emotion, the passion, the care factor from and really the rest of the guys too, especially in these types of environments. To be in those, it’s new for me.”

Mark Williams didn’t hold back when Duane Rankin asked him about not playing in the fourth quarter. He had 11 points and 10 rebounds through the first three quarters. “It’s tough. That’s what Coach (Ott) felt was best. We’ll probably go over it tomorrow in film, but I mean I felt good. I thought I’d get back in, but that’s how the game went.”

Nate Tibbetts told me why Alyssa Thomas’s scoring had increased after playing Indiana this season. She previously had a career-high 32 points and 18 points against the Fever. “They (Indiana) back off the ball and give AT space. And then they deny out wings.”
