all the best Phoenix Mercury players are at risk of being suspended from the WNBA Diana tasi has reached the threshold for suspension due to technical fouls this season but as expected her most recent technical was withdrawn allowing her to avoid the penalty this did not sit so well with WNBA fans it is surprising just how severe the technical foul problem is for the Phoenix Mercury as a whole the top three players in technical fouls this season all come from the Mercury and that doesn't even include Sophie Cunningham who was ejected last week for her own technical foul in an interview tasi couldn't help but laugh about the situation she acknowledged the team's fiery nature and the record they've set for technical fouls but she also noted that they need to take a hard look at themselves to improve despite her humor tasi was confident about her technical being rescinded which it was allowing her to play in the next game her confidence wasn't misplaced but the overall situation with the Mercury is no laughing matter Natasha Cloud one of the top offenders with seven technical fowls is now suspended for the next game while Diana tasi and Kia copper are just one Tech away from joining her on the bench even more surprising is Shakira Austin who has racked up four technical fouls in just 11 games this season this technical foul issue has reached the point where it's more than just a minor concern it's a full-blown problem the Mercury's propensity for technical fowls is staggering Cunningham for instance has been ejected for her actions and the team as a whole seems to be pushing the boundaries regularly tasi herself with six technicals almost face suspension for their game against the Atlanta Dream and some fans joke that she should have taken the suspension as an opportunity for a break especially given the team's recent struggles the Mercury's approach to the game seems to be one of playing on the edge often crossing the line and picking up technicals as a result tas's reaction to breaking the record for most technical fouls was almost celebratory reflecting a mindset that's less about restraint and more about embracing their aggressive style of play this team with its roster of players like Britney Griner asash Cloud Kia copper and Sophie Cunningham is built with strong personalities that aren't afraid to get physical or vocal however this strategy comes with risks as players begin to accumulate suspensions it could start to impact the team's performance and standings tas's technical was rescinded this time but as fans and analysts have pointed out it's only a matter of time before her and others luck runs out and knowing tasi she might just get herself teed up again in the next game playing right into her reputation as a player who pushes limits the Mercury situation is both amusing and alarming a blend of hard-nosed basketball and Reckless abandon it's clear they won't be backing down any time soon but if they want to stay competitive they might need to find a way to rain in their tempers before it costs them more than just a few technical fowls
