The Phoenix Mercury snagged the top name on the WNBA trade market Saturday night. ESPN's Shams Charania and Kendra Andrews reported they're acquiring guard Kelsey Plum from the Los Angeles Sparks for guard Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-rounder. Plum is averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists this season. The Sparks acquired Plum at the cost of the No. From a scoring perspective, the Mercury also suffered a blow when Jovana Nogić, who was third in points (10.4), left the team for personal reasons.
