The Mercury have a much-needed weekend off after they played games on both Thursday and Friday, first in Las Vegas and then back home in Phoenix the following night. It was their fourth game in sixth days.
They split the back-to-back slate, finding a way to beat the Valkyries with the help from yet another triple-double from star Alyssa Thomas after a loss to the Aces the night before. Satou Sabally, the Mercury's leading scorer averaging 16.8 points per game, hasn't been afraid to make her feelings known surrounding the hot-button topics facing the league.
