Overview

  • Phoenix open the stretch on Aug. 17 at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena before heading to Golden State on Aug. 19 then Las Vegas on Aug. 21 and returning home on Aug. 22.
  • With roughly ten regular-season games remaining, the Mercury currently occupy fourth place and seek wins to solidify a favorable playoff seed.
  • Seattle holds a 2–1 edge in the season series and arrives with momentum after winning the last two meetings against Phoenix.
  • Seattle’s deadline addition Brittney Sykes and Phoenix’s Monique Akoa Makani (game-time decision) could shape the opener while matchups have shifted without Golden State’s injured All-Star Kayla Thornton.
