Phoenix Mercury general manager Jim Pitman said he expects Skylar Diggins-Smith to be a part of the team next year by noting she is under contract with the Mercury for the 2023 season.
Diggins-Smith missed the final four games of the regular season due to personal reasons while the Mercury were competing for a playoff berth amid a rocky year. She was away from the team for the first round of the postseason when the No. 8 Mercury were swept by the No. 1 Las Vegas Aces.
"Sky is under contract for next year, yes," Pitman told media during exit interviews on Sunday.
