Phoenix Mercury excited for Charisma Osborne’s return

Charisma Osborne is working hard to return.

When the second half of the WNBA season begins, the Phoenix Mercury will have Charisma Osborne back on the court. The 23 year old that played her college basketball at UCLA is in her first season with the Mercury.

She was waived in May, but resigned in June. She brings great energy to the team, and could be a key piece down the stretch. The Mercury head into the break at 13-12, which is fourth in the Western Conference postseason.

While at UCLA, she was a four time All Pac-12 player, and two time all defensive team. She scored enough to finish second all time on the UCLA Women’s basketball scoring list.

Osborne played in just two games before her leg injury. Here are a pair of her teammates Sophie Cunningham and Diana Taurasi on her return:

When the Mercury return following the All Star Break, they will be at the Indiana Fever on August 16th.
