Shay Ciezki - Off injury report Ciezki (coach's decision) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Sky.
Impact Ciezki is signed to a developmental contract, so she's permitted to be activated for only 12 regular-season contests. She has played in two games during the 2026 campaign, logging a combined 10 minutes. While Ciezki is off the injury report, there's still a chance she won't suit up against Chicago to preserve her eligibility moving forward.

Kelsey Plum - Questionable for Monday Plum (leg, physical results) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Sky.
Impact Plum has missed the past month with a lower-leg injury, though she was listed as probable for her final game before being traded to Phoenix. The Mercury have listed her status as "pending physical results," suggesting she has a chance to make her team debut Monday, pending clearance from Phoenix's medical staff.
AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE
Kara Dunn - Not listed on injury report Dunn (coach's decision) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Sky.
Impact Dunn is signed to a developmental contract, meaning she can be activated for only 12 regular-season games. With that in mind, it's still possible she won't suit up for Monday's meeting with the Sky to preserve her eligibility moving ahead.
AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE
Sami Whitcomb - Probable for Monday Whitcomb is probable for Monday's game against the Sky due to left knee injury management.
Impact Whitcomb has been dealing with the knee injury for some time now, so it doesn't come as a surprise that she is on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest. She has been able to suit up for each of the last three games after missing one bout due to an illness, so all signs point towards he being available. Over her last three appearances, she has averaged 4.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest.

Kelsey Plum - Traded to Phoenix Plum (lower leg) was traded to the Mercury from the Sparks on Sunday in exchange for Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ES...
Impact Plum was one of the top names mentioned in trade rumors ahead of Sunday's deadline, but it was unclear whether the Sparks would receive a satisfactory offer given her status as an unrestricted free agent during the offseason. The Mercury and Sparks were ultimately able to reach a late-night agreement that will pair Plum with another strong scoring threat in Kahleah Copper as part of the Mercury's backcourt in an attempt to turn the team's fortunes around following an 11-19 start to the season. Plum has missed the last month due to a lower-leg injury but was probable for the Sparks' game against the Fire on Sunday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see her available to suit up once she officially joins the Mercury. Across 12 appearances during her injury-plagued 2026 campaign, Plum has averaged a career-high 23.9 points and 6.4 assists to go with 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.

Sami Whitcomb - Shooting woes in loss Whitcomb recorded four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three assists in 15 minutes during Saturday's 94-92 loss to New York.
Impact Whitcomb struggled with efficiency Saturday and has shot just 1-for-8 from the field in her last two appearances. The veteran guard has yet to score in double figures this season and is now averaging 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 14.2 minutes per game across seven regular-season appearances in 2026.
AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE
Alyssa Thomas - Well-rounded effort in loss Thomas tallied 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes in Saturday's 94-92 loss to the Liberty.
Impact Thomas turned in an efficient performance Saturday and finished as the Mercury's third-leading scorer. The star forward also accounted for a team-high seven assists and has dished out at least six dimes in six consecutive contests. Additionally, Thomas grabbed at least six boards for a 10th straight game. She's now averaging 14.9 points, 8.3 assists, 7.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 33.8 minutes per showing through 28 regular-season outings.
AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE
Kahleah Copper - Drops 25 points in loss Copper chipped in 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes in Saturday's 94-92 loss to the Liberty.
Impact Copper didn't offer much outside the scoring column Saturday, though she got to the charity stripe often and tied for the team lead in points. The veteran guard has reached the 20-point threshold in five of her last six appearances, averaging 23.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game during that time.

DeWanna Bonner - Drops 25 points in loss Bonner ended with 25 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 32 minutes in Saturday's 94-92 loss to the Liberty.
Impact Bonner turned in a full stat line, matching Kahleah Copper for the team lead in points. It was a season-high scoring effort for Bonner, who hadn't scored in double figures in back-to-back games since June before posting 17 points in Wednesday's win and 25 points in Saturday's loss. Through 30 appearances (19 starts) this season, the veteran forward is averaging 10.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.2 minutes per outing.
AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE
Monique Akoa Makani - Returns to Saturday's game Akoa Makani (undisclosed) checked back in during the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Liberty, Jenna Ortiz of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Akoa Makani briefly left Saturday's game due to an unspecified injury, but she has been cleared to return against New York. In her six starts prior to Saturday's contest, she averaged 9.2 points, 2.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 1.5 threes and 0.8 steals over 23.8 minutes per contest.

Impact Akoa Makani went down with an apparent injury and exited to the locker room at the 7:00 mark of the third quarter. Should she be unable to return Saturday, Alexa Held and Sami Whitcomb are among the guards who could see increased opportunities.
