Explodes for 38 points Copper delivered 38 points (13-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-12 FT), a rebound, an assist and a steal across 37 minutes in Saturday's 99-89 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Copper didn't do much outside of the scoring column, but she didn't need to after this impressive 38-point haul. This was her second-best scoring output of the season, as she couldn't match the 41-point performance she posted against the Sparks on June 13. It was also the fifth time she scored at least 30 points in a game in 2026.

Goes for 19 points in home loss Copper produced 19 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 36 minutes during Sunday's 88-85 loss to the Fire.

Impact Copper did a very good job on defense, with all of her rebounds coming at that end of the floor. The seven boards helped tie her second-highest mark in a single game this season, with only a 10-rebound effort against the Sparks on June 13 being a higher mark. She also has at least one made three-pointer in nine straight games since July 22.

Struggles from deep Copper had 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 75-72 loss to the Sun.

Impact Copper finished Friday's game as the Mercury's second-leading scorer behind Kelsey Plum (25 points). However, Copper missed all but one of her six attempts from beyond the arc and has gone 2-for-12 from three-point range over her last two outings. She's still enjoying a productive year and is averaging 20.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.8 steals over 32.8 minutes per game, though she's connecting on only 28.8 percent of her three-point tries, which is a career low.

Cools off Wednesday Copper ended with 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 96-82 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Copper cooled off Wednesday after scoring 31 points in Monday's 106-101 victory over Chicago. She was also less efficient shooting the ball, especially from deep. Still, despite Wednesday's subpar effort and her career-low 29.2 percent shooting from behind the three-point line, the 31-year-old has had a productive 2026 campaign overall, averaging 21.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 32.8 minutes in 31 regular-season games.

Strong performance Monday Copper finished with 31 points (10-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-12 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes in Monday's 106-101 win over Chicago.

Impact Copper had one of her best showings of the year in the victory over the Sky and has now combined for 83 points in her last three appearances. She shot an inefficient 2-for-7 from deep in Saturday's 94-92 loss to the Liberty, though she shot the ball much better versus Chicago. The 31-year-old is having a fantastic 2026 campaign, averaging a career-high 21.2 points along with 3.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 32.7 minutes in 30 regular-season games.
