GAME LOG
Diamond Miller - Available to return Friday Miller (leg) is available to return to Friday's game against the Mercury, Terrika Foster-Brasby of ESPN reports.
Impact Miller sustained an apparent right leg injury in the second quarter, but she is back on the bench and available to return. Over nine first-half minutes, she posted two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt).

Diamond Miller - Exits to locker room Miller exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's game against the Mercury due to an apparent right leg injury, Terrika Foster-Brasby of ESPN reports.
Impact Miller appeared to bump legs with an opposing player on a drive to the basket, and she was able to walk to the locker room under her own power. Kennedy Burke and Aaliyah Edwards could see increased playing time the rest of the way if Miller is unable to return.

AUGUST 7 • SI.COM
Kennedy Burke - Out of starting lineup Friday Burke is not listed in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Phoenix.
Impact Burke started in Sunday's 83-63 loss to Dallas, marking her first start in over two months. She played well, amassing 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks over 30 minutes. However, with Brittney Griner (knee) and Aaliyah Edwards (knee) returning Friday, Burke will move back to a reserve role.
AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE
Ashlon Jackson - Won't go Friday Jackson (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mercury.
Impact Jackson will be held out of Friday's contest after logging 11 minutes in Sunday's loss to Dallas, when she recorded one assist. Her next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Dream.
AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE
Olivia Nelson-Ododa - Available Friday Nelson-Ododa (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Mercury.
Impact Nelson-Ododa was a late addition to the injury report Friday but will shed her probable tag and suit up. Over her last five games, the 25-year-old center has averaged 12.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals across 26.0 minutes per contest.
AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE
Brittney Griner - Upgraded to available Griner (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Mercury.
Impact Griner is set to return from a four-game absence Friday with a knee injury. Kennedy Burke stands out as the most likely choice to move to the bench. Griner has shuffled in and out of the Sun's lineup all year long due to various nagging issues but has shown little signs of slowing down when available, as the 35-year-old center has averaged 16.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.9 blocks in 26.5 minutes per game over her last eight appearances.
AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE
Olivia Nelson-Ododa - Likely to play Friday Nelson-Ododa (illness) is probable for Friday's game against Phoenix.
Impact The Sun expect Nelson-Ododa to play through an illness Friday. She's been a full-time starter since June 22 and should continue to play an expanded role now that Aneesah Morrow is in Toronto.

The Nets Have a Terance Mann Problem Brooklyn's front office has a decision to make about Terance Mann.
AUGUST 7 • SI.COM
Hailey Van Lith - Off injury report Van Lith (coach's decision) is available for Friday's game against Phoenix.
Impact Van Lith can still be ruled out due to her developmental status. Her presence or absence should have a negligible impact on the rotation.
AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE
Raegan Beers - Won't play Friday Beers is out for Friday's game against Phoenix with a concussion.
Impact Beers is in the league's concussion protocol for at least one game. Nell Angloma figures to step into the backup center role behind Brittney Griner (knee), if she's available, or Olivia Nelson-Ododa.
AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE
Aaliyah Edwards - Cleared from injury report Edwards (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Mercury.
Impact Edwards is ready to end a four-game absence with a right knee injury. Her return could result in fewer minutes for Diamond Miller and Kennedy Burke in the frontcourt.
AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE
Brittney Griner - Iffy for Thursday Griner (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mercury.
Impact The veteran center is looking to end a four-game absence with a left knee injury. Griner's return would likely push Olivia Nelson-Ododa back to the bench.

AUGUST 5 • SI.COM
Tyler Bilodeau - Set to serve as two-way player Bliodeau's (rest) first NBA season is set to come as a two-way player in 2026-27.
Impact The Nets grabbed Bliodeau in the second round of the draft earlier this summer, shortly signing the rookie to a two-way contract thereafter. That said, the 22-year-old figures to spend most his time developing with the G League's Long Island Nets and is likely to have a hard time mustering much fantasy relevance in 2026-27.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Chaney Johnson - Set for second year with Nets Johnson (rest) is getting ready to reprise his role as a two-way player for Brooklyn in 2026-27.
Impact Johnson signed a two-way contract with the Nets in June after occupying a two-way roster spot with the club a year ago. Such a role leaves Johnson more likely to begin the new season as a featured part of the G League's Long Island Nets as opposed to the NBA squad, unless injuries strike the parent team at some point between training camp and the regular season.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Drake Powell - Searching for better results Powell (rest) is looking to improve this season following a poor rookie campaign in 2025-26.
Impact Powell struggled to make an impression on either end of the floor during his rookie year, averaging 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.6 steals per game while shooting just 40.2 percent from the floor over 63 regular-season appearances (24 starts) in 2025-26. While it appears unlikely he'll start the new year in the first unit, Powell should at least have a leg up on veterans Keon Ellis and Terance Mann for Brooklyn's backup role at shooting guard before training camp kicks off in September.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Terance Mann - Role uncertain for 2026-27 Mann (knee) is unlikely to begin the 2026-27 season as a starter and appears to be buried on the depth chart.
Impact Mann started 51 of his 63 regular-season appearances during his first year with the Nets in 2025-26, but he's all but certain to begin the new campaign as a reserve instead. Brooklyn drafted Mikel Brown in the first round this summer and is also set to get Egor Demin back in the mix, potentially leaving Mann behind Drake Powell, Ben Saraf and Nolan Traore (foot) in a position to fight for scraps with Keon Ellis off the bench.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Mikel Brown Jr. - Ready for rookie year Brown (rest) is primed for a significant role ahead of his rookie season in 2026-27.
Impact The Nets chose Brown with the No. 6 overall pick in this year's draft, so they likely have big plans in mind for the 20-year-old guard right away in 2026-27. Brown, who averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 three-pointers per game over four Summer League appearances, is lined up to share Brooklyn's starting backcourt with Egor Demin.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Saraf - Preparing for second season Saraf (rest) is in line for a reserve role in 2026-27 after the Nets drafted Mikel Brown earlier this summer.
Impact The 2025 first-rounder bookended his rookie campaign as a starter, but a bench role appears more likely to open this season now that Brown is in the fold and Egor Demin is healthy. Nolan Traore is recovering from offseason knee surgery but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in the fall, so Saraf is set to battle with youngsters Traore and Drake Powell as well as veterans Keon Ellis and Terance Mann for playing time in the second unit.
