Logs nine points in return Akoa-Makani finished Friday's 89-76 loss to the Liberty with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one block over 23 minutes.
Impact Akoa-Makani returned to action and didn't face a minutes restriction after a two-game absence due to a concussion. The 24-year-old guard chipped in four assists for the third time in her last five appearances, during which she has averaged 9.8 points, 3.4 assists, 1.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.8 minutes per game.
JULY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Won't have minutes restriction Head coach Nate Tibbetts said Akoa-Makani won't have a minutes restriction for Friday's game against the Liberty, Aya Abdeen of Ballislife.com reports.
Impact Akoa-Makani is set to return from a two-game absence due to a concussion, and she's cleared to handle a full workload Friday. The 24-year-old guard has averaged 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.0 minutes per game this season, so fantasy managers can expect her to take on her usual role against New York. Sami Whitcomb figures to revert back to Phoenix's bench as well.
JULY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared from injury report Akoa-Makani (concussion) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Liberty, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.
Impact After missing consecutive contests due to a concussion, Akoa-Makani appears to have passed the protocol and is all set to return Friday. The 24-year-old has started each of her 21 appearances in 2025, so her return figures to push Sami Whitcomb back to Phoenix's bench versus New York. Akoa-Makani has averaged 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.0 minutes per game this year.

Won't play Wednesday Akoa-Makani (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dream, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.
Impact Akoa-Makani withdrew from AfroBasket with Cameroon on Tuesday and was initially uncertain for Wednesday's game, but it has now been confirmed that she'll remain sidelined due to a concussion. Her next chance to play will be Friday against the Liberty.
JULY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Won't participate in AfroBasket Akoa-Makani (concussion) won't participate in AfroBasket for Cameroon, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.
Impact Although Akoa-Makani was included in Cameroon's pre-selection group, she'll instead stay with the Mercury in the WNBA during the upcoming AfroBasket tournament that starts this weekend. The guard also remains in concussion protocol, which has clouded her status for Wednesday's tilt against the Dream.
JULY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Remains in concussion protocol Akoa-Makani (concussion) didn't participate in Monday's practice, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.
Impact Akoa-Makani remains in the concussion protocol, which puts her status in doubt for Wednesday's matchup against the Dream. The 24-year-old has started each of her 21 appearances this season, so her possible absence would leave a significant void in Phoenix's lineup. Kitija Laksa would likely see extra minutes if Akoa-Makani misses a second straight contest, although Kahleah Copper (hamstring) and Alexa Held (chest) both participated in Monday's session.

Sidelined with concussion Akoa-Makani (concussion) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Lynx, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.
Impact Akoa-Makani will be sidelined with a concussion just as she was hitting her stride, averaging 10.0 points, 3.3 assists, 1.0 rebound and 1.3 steals in 25.3 minutes per game over her last four outings. With Kahleah Copper (hamstring) still out, Kitija Laksa may be in line to start Wednesday.
JULY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The Mercury are dealing with a handful of injuries currently, and Akoa-Makani has stepped up as a result. Over her last four games, Akoa-Makani has produced averages of 10.0 points, 3.3 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 25.3 minutes per night.
JULY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Records team's lone three-pointer Akoa-Makani supplied 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and four assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 79-71 win over Minnesota.
Impact It was a strange game for the Mercury, as Akoa-Makani recorded the team's only three-pointer.

Akoa-Makani is averaging 10.3 points, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals across three games in July.

JULY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles in Sunday's start Akoa-Makani provided six points (1-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) across 14 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 loss to the Aces.
Impact Akoa-Makani misfired six times, and she was unable to contribute any other counting stats in what was a forgettable game. After a 21-point outburst against the Liberty on June 19, Akoa-Makani is averaging 7.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in the past three appearances.
