Returning to Phoenix Phoenix signed Carter to a developmental contract Thursday, per Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Phoenix The Mercury waived Carter on Tuesday.

Impact Carter will now have to seek other opportunities if she clears waivers. The 25-year-old guard appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Mercury before being let go, averaging 1.2 points while shooting 16.7 percent from the field in 6.2 minutes per tilt.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 11 minutes in win Carter produced one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 11 minutes during Thursday's 90-67 victory over the Storm.

Impact Carter played double-digit minutes for a second consecutive matchup Thursday. Although she didn't convert on any of her attempts from the floor, she made modest contributions in several statistical categories. Despite her recent uptick in playing time, Carter hasn't had consistent enough opportunities to be a reliable fantasy option.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Plays two minutes off bench Carter racked up zero points (0-1 FG) in two minutes during Wednesday's 111-109 win over the Fever.

Impact Carter has now appeared in seven of the Mercury's last eight games, but she hasn't been a significant part of the team's rotation, as she's been held without any counting stats in three of those seven outings. Across 11 regular-season appearances to begin the 2026 campaign, she's averaged 1.1 points in 5.3 minutes per game.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling for playing time Carter had two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one steal over three minutes during Tuesday's 87-81 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Carter is really struggling to muster much fantasy relevance. The rookie guard has averaged 2.0 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 6.7 minutes per game this season, and she hasn't been a stable member of Phoenix's rotation.

JUNE 10 • ROTOWIRE

Solid effort off bench Carter had six points (1-3 FG, 4-5 FT), two assists and one steal in 10 minutes during Monday's 111-77 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Carter had been outside the rotation for each of Phoenix's past seven games, so her presence Monday is worth noting. Even so, the recent signing of Alexa Held might make it difficult for Carter to handle a steady reserve role in the backcourt.

JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies one rebound in loss Carter ended Sunday's 95-79 loss to the Valkyries with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across six minutes.

Impact Carter played 12 minutes off the bench during Saturday's blowout win over Las Vegas but wasn't used as much during the second half of the back-to-back set. Carter earned an Opening Night roster spot following a solid preseason, but she hasn't seen enough playing time over the first two games of the regular season to generate much fantasy production.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in 10 points off bench Carter logged 10 points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 19 minutes during the Mercury's 108-104 win over the Sky in Saturday's preseason game.

Impact Carter was one of four Mercury players to score in double digits during Saturday's exhibition game, and her 19 minutes were second most on the team behind Kiana Williams (23). Carter signed a training camp deal with Phoenix on April 12, and she is looking to crack a spot on the roster for the regular season after playing overseas in the Greek A1 for Panathlitikos SF Sykeon last year.
