Impact Whitcomb was one of just four players to score at least 10 points, and she paced the Mercury with four three-pointers made, while the rest of her team had just six successful makes from behind the distance. Whitcomb is on a heater, going for at least 14 points in a season-high five consecutive outings.

Scores 17 points off bench Whitcomb contributed 17 points (5-10 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 107-86 victory over the Sky.

Impact Whitcomb continues to be a force to be reckoned with offensively, as she has scored 16 or more points in three straight games. The veteran came off the bench for the second time this season, but still logged 25 minutes, which she has done 10 times now during the 2025 campaign.

Bench role Saturday Whitcomb will come off the bench during Saturday's game against the Sky, Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact Whitcomb got the starting nod for Thursday's game against the Liberty with Kahleah Copper managing her knee issue, but will be in the second unit Saturday. Whitcomb has played only one game in a reserve role this season and had arguably her best game of the 2025 campaign, finishing with 18 points and two rebounds in 23 minutes.

Goes for 16 points Thursday Whitcomb contributed 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 89-81 victory over the Liberty.

Impact Whitcomb made her 12th start of the season due to the absence of Kahleah Copper (knee), and she didn't disappoint. The 16-point output was her second-best scoring mark of the campaign, although it was only the fourth time she cleared the 10-point mark in 2025. Whitcomb needs to be more consistent to deliver more fantasy value in the upcoming games, especially considering she's been a regular starter for Phoenix all season long.

Will start sans Copper Whitcomb will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Liberty, freelance Mercury writer Jeff Metcalfe reports.

Impact After coming off the bench in the win against the Aces on June 15, Whitcomb will make her 12th start of the season with Kahleah Copper (knee) on the mend. As a starter, Whitcomb has averaged 7.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, shooting 36.7 percent from the floor and 24.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Cleared Thursday Whitcomb (elbow) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Liberty, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact Whitcomb missed Wednesday's game due to a pair of injuries but is set to return Thursday. With Kahleah Copper sidelined for injury management, the veteran guard is likely to slide into the starting lineup, where she's started 11 of 12 games this season. In her most recent appearance June 11, Whitcomb delivered her best scoring performance of the year, posting 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and two rebounds in 23 minutes.

JUNE 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Thursday Whitcomb (elbow/knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Liberty, according to Desert Wave Media.

Impact This is great news for the Mercury after Whitcomb missed Wednesday's contest due to two injuries she picked up over the weekend. The bad news for Phoenix is that Kahleah Copper is now out due to injury management.

JUNE 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Whitcomb (elbow/knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sun, Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact After scoring a season-high 18 points in Sunday's win against Las Vegas, Whitcomb will miss her first game of the 2025 campaign due to a knee and elbow injury. The Mercury will likely lean on Alexa Held and Kitija Laksa to pick up the slack Wednesday on the road in Connecticut.

JUNE 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Whitcomb (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sun, David Veenstra of Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact Whitcomb is dealing with a right knee issue, which adds to the injuries the Mercury has had in the backcourt during the 2025 campaign. The veteran guard reverted to a bench role after Kahleah Copper made her season debut Sunday. Whitcomb had started the first 11 games, but ironically had her best performance while coming off the bench against the Aces, scoring a season-high 18 points. If Whitcomb cannot play Wednesday, Phoenix will likely turn to Alexa Held and Kitija Laksa to help shoulder the load.

Solid in reserve role Whitcomb finished with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and two rebounds over 23 minutes during Sunday's 76-70 victory over the Aces.

Impact Whitcomb was pushed back to the bench with Kahleah Copper (knee) able to make her season debut after missing the first 11 games due to injury. Whitcomb didn't appear to be fazed by the new role, posting a season-high 18 points, including four three-pointers. It was her highest point total since scoring 19 points against the Sky as a member of the Storm back on Aug. 27, 2023.

Won't start Sunday Whitcomb won't start in Sunday's game against the Aces.

Impact The veteran guard will retreat to the second unit with Kahleah Copper (knee) making her season debut. Over her last five outings, Whitcomb has averaged 8.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 27.6 minutes per game.

Nears double-double in win Whitcomb recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 victory over the Wings.

Impact Whitcomb recorded a season-high seven rebounds in Wednesday's win while also shooting 50 percent from the field. Her seven boards were the second-highest total on the team behind Satou Sabally, who finished with nine.

Good to go Whitcomb (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Valkyries, Matt Cohen of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact Whitcomb was added to the team's injury report as probable leading up to tipoff, so this update is no surprise. She's started every game so far this season for the Mercury and is averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals over her last five matchups.

JUNE 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Thursday Whitcomb is probable for Thursday's game against the Valkyries due to a right foot injury, Desert Wave Media reports.

Impact It's a new injury for Whitcomb after she started in each of the Mercury's eight games to start the 2025 season. While she's still expected to suit up, fantasy managers should keep an eye on her status ahead of Thursday's 10:00 pm EST tipoff.

Sharp from behind arc Whitcomb ended Sunday's 85-80 win over the Sparks with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes.

Impact Whitcomb and Kathryn Westbeld each were good for three successful three-pointers, and all five starters managed at least two triples in the victory. Whitcomb started the season slowly, but the 36-year-old veteran is averaging 12.0 points, 5.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game across the past two appearances.
