Game Storylines
Mercury Look to End Road Trip on a High Note
The Phoenix Mercury are wrapping up a five-game road trip and looking to rebound after a 95-72 loss to Atlanta. They’ve dropped four of their last five games since the All-Star break, but this matchup against the struggling Sky offers a prime opportunity to regain momentum. Satou Sabally (17.2 PPG) and Alyssa Thomas (16.2 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 9.0 APG) continue to lead the way, with Thomas acting as the team’s engine on both ends.
Sky Reeling Without Angel Reese
The Chicago Sky are mired in a seven-game losing streak, and will be without All-Star Angel Reese, who leads the team in points (14.2), rebounds (12.6), and assists (3.7). Injuries have decimated the roster, with Ariel Atkins, Hailey Van Lith, and Courtney Vandersloot also sidelined. Kamilla Cardoso has emerged as a bright spot, posting five straight double-doubles and averaging 14 points and 11.2 rebounds over that stretch.
