The Phoenix Mercury are set to welcome the Dallas Wings at home, Footprint Center, on Monday, July 7 in a re-match of their previous encounter on Thursday. The last game saw the Mercury slumping to the Wings 98-89, marking their second back-to-back loss. The game saw Kahleah Copper dropping 33 points, five rebounds, and one assist for the Mercury, while Satou Sabally came up with 20 points, two rebounds, and three assists.

On the other hand, the Wings, who are 6-13 in the ongoing season, recorded their second consecutive victory as they rolled past Phoenix. Aziaha James came up with 28 points, six rebounds, and six assists while Paige Bueckers tallied 23 points, four rebounds, and five assists. Both the teams have already met twice in the ongoing season with each winning one game. The forthcoming game would decide who dominates whom, and it goes without saying that both teams would want to extend their winning tally against each other.

It is going to be exciting gameplay, but before that, let’s see if the Mercury or the Wings have any injury scare.
