Brianna Turner

LOS ANGELES — Brianna Turner sat with a paper in front of her, focused on the notes in front of her while Phoenix Mercury PR set up the postgame Zoom press conference. Once the laptop was in place, Turner got the go-ahead to begin with a prepared statement that had nothing to do with the Mercury’s game Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Sparks.

PHOENIX – The three-time WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury today announced that the team has signed forward Brianna Turner to a multi-year contract extension. Mercury General Manager Jim Pitman: “As I’ve said many times, we want high character, high effort players on our team, and Brianna Turner exemplifies that. We also want players who want to be here in the Valley, as members of our Mercury and Suns organization, and in our community, and Breezy exemplifies that, as well. Getting this extension done speaks to how highly we value her now and how much we believe in her potential moving forward.”
