Current Injuries

PlayerPositionStatusDetails
Kahleah CopperKahleah CopperGOutCopper was expected to suit up for this contest, but in the end, the star guard won't be available, meaning Phoenix will be without one of their more reliable scoring options. Copper is averaging a career-high 21.3 points along with 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 32.9 minutes per contest this season. Alexa Held will start in her absence.
Valeriane AyayiValeriane AyayiFOutout
Kelsey PlumKelsey PlumGOutPlum is still not feeling the effects of a lingering lower leg injury and will be shut down with the Mercury out of the playoffs. The star guard is set to become a free agent at the conclusion of the season. In five appearances with the Mercury, she averaged 15.8 points and 2.8 assists.
Jovana NogicJovana NogicGOutNogic had her contract temporarily suspended June 20 and will now be out for the remainder of the WNBA season, as she's slated to compete overseas in Russia with an eye on leading the Serbian national team in the EuroBasket 2027 qualifiers. The guard appeared in 16 games (seven starts) for Phoenix, averaging 10.4 points, 1.6 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 20.2 minutes per contest. With Nogic out of the fold for the foreseeable future, Alexa Held stands to continue benefiting from expanded opportunities in the backcourt.
Kyara LinskensKyara LinskensCOutLinskens is preparing to represent Belgium in the upcoming FIBA World Cup. She'll likely report back to Phoenix ahead of the Sep. 17 matchup in Portland.
