The Minnesota Lynx suffered their first loss of the season, struggling with defensive lapses and a lack of depth against a red-hot Seattle Storm team.

On the bright side for Los Angeles, Rickea Jackson is regaining her rhythm and making a growing impact. Paige Bueckers showed star potential in a breakout performance for the Wings, despite another team loss. And in Phoenix, the Mercury are finally getting healthy and beginning to click at just the right time. We put a 3v3 team together today with Jamie Steyer Johnson, Brittany Carper, and Richard Cohen giving you their insights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Order has been restored in Phoenix. The Mercury are off to a 7-4 start—their best since 2018—and Alyssa Thomas is back to doing what she does best: setting the tone, anchoring the defense, and unlocking the full potential of Satou Sabally.

Plus, we talk Satou's new PEs, all-star voting, and a huge weekend matchup with the Aces. And… keep an eye on Kahleah Copper—word is she's traveling to Chicago with the team, and her return might be closer than we think.An ALLCITY Network ProductionSUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtubeALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsportsALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of PhoenixPHNX Events: Get your tickets to Suns Takeovers, Suns Watch Parties, and MORE here: https://gophnx.com/events/bet365: https://www.bet365.com/olp/open-account?affiliate=365_03330244 Use the code PHNX365 to sign up, deposit $10 and choose your offer!Disclaimer: Must be 21+ and physically located in AZ.

The WNBA kicked off its new season last week with beauty brands lining up to gain access to the league's growing cohort of fans. In a gold rush that started around 2020, some of the industry's top brands have entered into multi-year sponsorships with the league or its top players. The most recent, Fenty's sponsorship of the New York Liberty, was announced earlier this month and kicked off on Saturday's home game opener with several activations including a "Gloss Bomb glam cam" where fans show off their beauty look. The NY Liberty, a top team in the league, has also received sponsorships from L'Oréal-owned brands Essie nail polish and NYX color cosmetics. Meanwhile, Amorepacific-owned Laneige became the Phoenix Mercury's official sponsor last year, mass hair-care brand Odele Beauty sponsors the Minnesota Lynx, and Glossier has been a league sponsor since 2020. What's more, Youth To The People has partnered with the Seattle Storm, and L'Oréal-owned Urban Decay was the official L.A. Sparks sponsor for two seasons. Plus, the Chicago Sky has partnerships with Covergirl, Olay and hair-care band Jamaican Mango and Lime. But perhaps one of the biggest deals is Sephora's sponsorship of the league's newest team, San Francisco's Golden State Valkyries, who will now play at the newly-renamed "Sephora Performance Center" in Oakland. And this is just a snapshot of the WNBA deals Glossy is tracking. “There was limited broadcast for women's sports [a few years ago], and now we have record-breaking viewership, which has been just absolutely amazing,” said Jacki Gemelos, a former WNBA player and coach turned sports agent. “Major brands rarely built campaigns around female athletes. And now athletes like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Alex Morgan and Simone Biles, just to name a few, are leading campaigns and not just being included.” As previously reported by Glossy, attention from the beauty industry aligns with a sharp rise in WNBA audience attention. Viewership on ESPN was up 155% last season and, within this, viewership among people aged 18–34 rose by 164% and viewership among women increased by 165% year-over-year. Glossy welcomed Gemelos to the podcast to discuss this change and provide context and advice for beauty execs looking to join in on the action. She provides context as to different types of deals, including the average costs and what makes a deal authentic. Gemelos is a lifelong basketball player who spent more than a decade playing professionally overseas and in the WNBA for the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun. She was an assistant coach for the NY Liberty before joining Nike as an athlete community coordinator. Today, she's an agent at prestigious boutique firm Disrupt the Game, where she oversees deals for a roster of top talent. In today's episode, Gemelos discusses everything beauty execs need to know about this cultural shift. But first, hosts Lexy Lebsack and Sara Spruch-Feiner discuss the top headlines of the week. This includes QVC's foray into 24/7 social commerce selling through TikTok Shop, plus a bird's eye view on how the beauty industry did in the first quarter of the year, according to a new report from Circana market research company.
Down two starters? No problem. The Phoenix Mercury stayed locked in and locked down the Los Angeles Sparks behind a huge night from Satou Sabally and a do-it-all performance from Alyssa Thomas. With Kahleah Copper and Natasha Mack still sidelined, AT commanded the floor on both ends, while Satou poured in a game-high 25 points. Erika and Stephen break down the Mercury's second win at home, the team's resilience through early injuries, and what to watch for heading into the weekend matchups in Seattle, then back home vs Washington.An ALLCITY Network ProductionSUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtubeALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsportsALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of PhoenixPHNX Events: Get your tickets to Suns Takeovers, Suns Watch Parties, and MORE here: https://gophnx.com/events/ bet365: https://www.bet365.com/olp/open-account?affiliate=365_03330244 Use the code PHNX365 to sign up, deposit $10 and choose your offer!Disclaimer: Must be 21+ and physically located in AZ.

The Phoenix Mercury launched their 2025 WNBA season in spectacular fashion, securing an 81–59 triumph over the Seattle Storm at PHX Arena. Satou Sabally led the charge with 27 points, showcasing her prowess on both ends of the court. Alyssa Thomas contributed significantly with 13 points and 4 assists, while Kathryn Westbeld added 7 points, including two crucial three-pointers. The Mercury's defense was formidable, limiting the Storm to a 33.3% field goal percentage and just 17.6% from beyond the arc. Skylar Diggins stood out for Seattle with 21 points, but the team's overall offensive struggles were evident. Join us as we delve into the highlights, analyze key performances, and discuss the implications of this season-opening victory for the Mercury.

What do mortgage lending and pro basketball have in common? For Mat Ishbia, everything. In this episode of Leadership Next, cohosts Diane Brady and Kristin Stoller sit down with the CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage—and owner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury—to explore how Ishbia channels his experience as a Michigan State basketball player into building winning teams in boardrooms and arenas alike. Ishbia shares how he balances being a hands-on CEO, sports team owner, and father of three, while staying laser-focused on culture, execution, and doing things “the right way.” He opens up about leading UWM to become the country's largest mortgage lender, revolutionizing fan experiences in Phoenix, and why he believes money follows people—not the other way around.

The Phoenix Mercury are officially in their new era, and Media Day 2025 had all the energy we've been waiting for. In this episode, we're breaking down the biggest moments from Media Day — from Kahleah Copper talking about leading this squad, to Alyssa Thomas bringing that toughness to the desert, and Nate Tibbetts setting the tone in his second year as head coach of the Mercury. After saying goodbye to Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner, the Mercury reloaded fast, adding a new cornerstone in Satou Sabally, veteran sharpshooter Sami Whitcomb, and dominant post presence Kalani Brown to an already storied franchise. This squad is deep, hungry, and ready to make noise in 2025.
