GAME LOG

Muted performance in win Akoa-Makani ended with five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 83-75 victory over the Sun.
Impact Considering Sami Whitcomb was out due to a knee and elbow injury, this was a disappointing showing for Akoa-Makani. The guard hasn't been able to make a big impact this season, posting averages of 7.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20.2 minutes per contest.
JUNE 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Scoreless in 21 minutes Akoa-Makani closed with zero points (0-3 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Sunday's 76-70 win over the Aces.
Impact Akoa-Makani has cooled off for the Mercury and hasn't scored in double figures in five straight games. She hasn't been very reliable in fantasy formats, posting averages of 7.6 points, 2.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.1 minutes per contest.
JUNE 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Trending in wrong direction Akoa-Makani ended Thursday's 86-77 win over the Valkyries with four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes.
Impact Akoa-Makani scored in double digits in four games between May 21 and May 27 and was playing well to open the campaign. However, she's been trending in the wrong direction of late and has been unable to surpass the 10-point mark in her last four appearances. She's averaging 6.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 16.7 minutes per game in her three appearances in June so far.
JUNE 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles in blowout loss Akoa-Makani contributed four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 88-65 loss to Minnesota.
Impact This game was over in a hurry, and no starter for the Mercury logged more than 25 minutes. Although she's had a couple duds lately, Akoa-Makani is shooting 45.5 percent from the field and from beyond the arc in her debut WNBA season, averaging 9.0 points, 2.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers.

Mercury overcome an 18-point first-half deficit to beat the Sparks 85-80

Satou Sabally had 24 points, nine rebounds and four steals, Kathryn Westbeld and Kitija Laksa each scored 15 and the Phoenix Mercury overcame an 18-point first-half deficit to beat...

Green light to play Friday Akoa-Makani (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Lynx, per Desert Wave Media.
Impact Akoa-Makani popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a left knee injury, but the 24-year-old guard has been cleared to play in Friday's contest. She is averaging 10.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 21.6 minutes per game this season while connecting on 52.2 percent of her three-point attempts (4.6 3PA/G).
MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Probable for Friday Akoa-Makani is probable for Friday's game against the Lynx due to a left knee injury, according to Desert Wave Media.
Impact The probable tag suggests Akoa-Makani should have a decent chance of suiting up Friday, though it's fair to mention that she didn't practice Thursday. Fantasy managers should exercise some caution with the rookie's availability for this contest. The rookie guard has logged 21.6 minutes per game over five contests so far this season, averaging 10.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sits out Thursday's practice Akoa-Makani didn't participate in Thursday's practice for undisclosed reasons, Jenna Ortiz of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact It's unclear if Akoa-Makani's absence from Thursday's session jeopardizes her status for Friday's game against the Lynx, but it's not an encouraging sign. The rookie guard has logged 21.6 minutes per game over five contests so far this season, so Phoenix would have an opening in its starting lineup if she cannot play Friday. Kitija Laksa and Alexa Held would be options for a boost in playing time in this case.
MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Accurate from distance Akoa-Makani closed with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 94-89 victory over Chicago.
Impact Akoa-Makani was back from an illness, logging 22 minutes without any apparent setbacks. It was the Cameroon rookie's fourth consecutive game with exactly three successful makes from behind the three-point line, and she has 11 or more points in each of the four outings after posting just two points in her WNBA debut May 17.

Will suit up Tuesday Akoa-Makani (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Sky, Desert Wave Media reports.
Impact Akoa-Makani will shake off a probable tag Tuesday due to an illness. The 24-year-old-guard is averaging 10.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 21.5 minutes per game in four regular-season appearances (all starts).
MAY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time call Tuesday Head coach Nate Tibbetts said pregame that Akoa-Makani (illness), who is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Sky, will go through her pregame warmup and be a game-tim...
Impact The Mercury are expected to provide another update on Akoa-Makani's status closer to Tuesday's tipoff at 10:00 p.m. ET. The 24-year-old guard has started in all four of Phoenix's regular-season games, averaging 10.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 21.5 minutes per game. If she's unable to suit up, Alexa Held and Kitija Laksa are candidates for a bump in minutes.
MAY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Probable vs. Chicago Akoa-Makani (illness) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Sky, Matt Cohen of Winsidr.com reports.
Impact Makani is trending toward suiting up and playing against Chicago despite dealing with an illness.

The 24-year-old guard has started in all three of the club's regular-season outings thus far, averaging 9.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds while shooting 50.0 percent from the field across 21.3 minutes per game.
MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy to play Sunday Akoa-Makani (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mystics, Matt Cohen of Winsidr.com reports.
Impact Akoa-Makani has played through a left knee injury through the Mercury's first three games of the regular season, and she has scored in double digits in her last two contests. Sevgi Uzun, Alexa Held and Kitija Laksa would all be candidates to see an increased workload if Akoa-Makani is unable to play Sunday.
MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Puts up 14 points Friday Akoa-Makani contributed 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes during Friday's 77-70 loss to Seattle.
Impact Akoa-Makani has been putting up solid numbers for the Mercury in the early stages of the season, and the rookie out of France has adjusted well to opening his WNBA career in a starting role. She has scored in double digits in her last two contests.
MAY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
