Doesn't suit up Friday Westbeld didn't play in Friday's 89-76 loss to the Liberty due to an illness, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact Westbeld wasn't officially ruled out in case the team absolutely needed her, but she ended up recording a DNP against New York. The 29-year-old's next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Mystics.

JULY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late removal from starting lineup Westbeld is not in the Mercury's starting lineup against the Liberty on Friday, freelance Mercury writer Jeff Metcalfe reports.

Impact Westbeld was initially slated to start, but she'll instead come off the bench while Natasha Mack enters the Mercury's starting five. Westbeld has scored three points in each of her last two games and is averaging 6.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks over 22.7 minutes per games this season.

JULY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Has dismal showing in home loss Westbeld closed with three points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 90-79 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Westbeld really struggled with her shot, and she wasn't alone. The Mercury collectively shot just 38.8 percent (26-of-67), with all five starters missing more shots than they made. In the past two games, Westbeld is averaging just 3.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists while averaging 19.0 minutes per appearance despite her starting status.

JULY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Has terrible shooting performance Westbeld posted three points (1-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 79-66 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Westbeld misfired on all four of her shot attempts from inside the arc, while making just the single three-pointer. The rookie has been a bit erratic lately, but she is still averaging 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers per game across the past four appearances.

JULY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 14 points in road win Westbeld accumulated 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 78-77 victory over the Valkyries.

Impact Westbeld has averaged 11.7 points since July 7, and it's her most prolific three-game scoring span of the season. That coincides with an average of 27.3 minutes per game during the span. The rookie has knocked down six total three-pointers in the stretch, too.

JULY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in 28 minutes Westbeld finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 79-71 victory over the Lynx.

Impact With DeWanna Bonner added to the mix, Westbeld could see her role take a hit, especially when the Mercury get Satou Sabally (ankle) and Kahleah Copper (hamstring) back in the mix.

Minnesota visits Phoenix following Whitcomb's 36-point showing

JULY 8, 2025 • Associated Press

Notches six points Westbeld recorded six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 98-89 loss to the Wings.

Impact Westbeld continues to see minutes in the teens most nights, but she's still doing enough to warrant attention in deeper fantasy formats. Through 18 games this season, she's seeing 22.2 minutes per night with 6.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.

JULY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to play diminished role Westbeld logged six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 18 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 loss to the Aces.

Impact Westbeld supplied a full stat line, but her role has become diminished with Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper both healthy. Westbeld has started her last six games but has averaged 4.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest during this period.

JUNE 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in 15 minutes Westbeld supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three steals over 15 minutes during Thursday's 89-81 victory over the Liberty.

Impact Westbeld's fantasy appeal for the Mercury continues to be very limited. Through 14 appearances, Westbeld holds averages of 6.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 23.3 minutes.

JUNE 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role in season-low 15 minutes Westbeld ended with one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 15 minutes during Sunday's 76-70 win over the Aces.

Impact With Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper both healthy for the first time this season, Westbeld logged her fewest minutes of the year. Copper played 18 minutes in her season debut after missing the first 11 games of the season due to a knee injury, so her workload will likely gradually increase as she becomes further removed from the issue. Westbeld did remain in the starting lineup Sunday, but it appears as though her usage is set to take a considerable hit after she posted season lows in points and field-goal attempts.

JUNE 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well in win Westbeld ended Wednesday's 93-80 win over the Wings with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 25 minutes.

Impact This was one of Westbeld's top performances this regular season. The rookie has appeared in 11 games so far with averages of 7.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest, shooting 39.7 percent from the field.

Impact Westbeld combined with Sami Whitcomb to knock down six total three-points in the road victory. In fact, all five starters were good for at least two three-pointers, as the Mercury were firing on all cylinders against the Sparks. Westbeld has hit at least one three-pointer in all seven games, averaging 1.8 three-pointer per game while hitting 39.3 percent from behind the arc.

Impact Westbeld made her WNBA regular-season debut and provided a solid stat line in the Mercury's blowout victory. The 29-year-old forward received the starting nod with several players sidelined and could continue to see meaningful minutes, as both Natasha Mack (back) and Kahleah Copper (knee) are expected to miss an extended period.

MAY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will start vs. Seattle Westbeld is in the starting lineup for Saturday's season opener against the Storm, freelance Mercury writer Jeff Metcalfe reports.

Impact Westbeld will finally make her WNBA regular-season debut in this campaign opener, though it's worth noting she'll only do it due to the Mercury having lots of absences. Westbeld will be joined by Monique Akoa-Makani, Sami Whitcomb, Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally in the first unit.
