Reserved free agent guard Amy Atwell signed a training camp contract with the Mercury.
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Mercury and Amy Atwell agreed to a training camp deal on Monday.
Per the WNBA CBA, it is a one-year, non-guaranteed training camp contract for $66,079.
The contract will not count toward the Mercury’s salary cap unless Atwell makes the Mercury’s opening night roster.
After five seasons at the University of Hawaii, Atwell was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Sparks in the third round of the 2022 WNBA Draft (27th overall). Atwell made the Sparks’ opening night roster and appeared in four games, but was waived by Los Angeles in June 2022.
She received a training camp invite from the Mercury in 2024 but did not make the team’s opening night roster.
After replacing an injured Bec Allen, Atwell won an Olympic bronze medal with Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Perth native signed her first seven-day contract with the Mercury on Sept. 6 and signed a subsequent seven-day contract with the Mercury on Sept. 12. She signed a rest-of-season contract with the Mercury on Sept. 19.
Atwell played in six regular-season games for the Mercury in 2024. She averaged 2.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 9.8 minutes per game.
