Drops 18 points off bench Whitcomb provided 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and three assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 107-101 loss to the Fever.

Impact The 37-year-old veteran bounced back nicely after going scoreless in 19 minutes off the bench against the Mystics on Sunday. It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride, in terms of fantasy production, but she'll occasionally provide decent scoring with a handful of assists and a decent amount of three-pointers.

Not starting Friday Whitcomb is not in the Mercury's starting lineup against the Liberty on Friday, freelance Mercury writer Jeff Metcalfe reports.

Impact Whitcomb has started in 17 the Mercury's 22 games this season, but she will come off the bench while Monique Akoa-Makani enters the starting five. Whitcomb is averaging 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals across 26.4 minutes per game this season.

JULY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 11 points in loss Whitcomb accumulated 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 90-79 loss to the Dream.

Impact Whitcomb has been fairly reliable for the Mercury this season, though her usage could take a hit going forward with the Mercury getting some healthy bodies back. Across 22 appearances, Whitcomb holds averages of 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes.

Notches nine points Whitcomb finished Wednesday's 79-66 loss to the Lynx with nine points (2-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 23 minutes.

Impact Apart from a 36-point outburst on July 7 against Dallas, Whitcomb has been pretty underwhelming lately. In four of her last four games, she has been held to 10 or fewer points and shot 33.3 percent or worse from the field. A reduced role could be on the table, assuming the Mercury get healthier after the All-Star break.

JULY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records seven points Whitcomb contributed seven points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and five assists over 29 minutes during Monday's 78-77 victory over the Valkyries.

Impact Whitcomb has been all over the place lately. She put up a 36-point explosion against the Wings on July 7, but she has shot the ball poorly in her three latest appearances apart from that one. However, she's likely to maintain a sizable role until the Mercury gets some depth back -- Alexa Held (chest), Kahleah Copper (hamstring) and Satou Sabally (ankle) are still on the shelf.

Impact The 36-year-old guard got the starting nod with Kahleah Copper (hamstring) sidelined, and Whitcomb did not disappoint.

Whitcomb scored just three points while shooting 1-for-8 from the field in Thursday's loss to Dallas, but she has now recorded at least 14 points in six of her last seven appearances.
