It will be the third time both teams will lock horns in the ongoing season of the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wnba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>WNBA<\/a>. In their previous two meetings, the Mercury secured notable wins over the Sparks and are leading the tally 2-0. As they visit Los Angeles third time, the Mercury would want to maintain their dominance, whereas the hosts would aim to bounce back from the previous setbacks.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Sparks, seeded ninth in the standings with a 17-18 tally, would enter the upcoming contest on the back of a narrow 81-80 win over the Dallas Wings. The Mercury, on the flip side, are in a better spot in the standings. Having seeded in the fourth spot, Phoenix maintains a win-loss tally of 22-14. While they have almost confirmed themselves a playoff berth, the Mercury would not want to add more defeats to their tally.&nbsp;<\/p><p>As the regular season is nearing its end, every win is crucial. Teams must not leave any stone unturned as a single mistake might end up costing them a chance to secure the WNBA championship.&nbsp;Let&rsquo;s see how the injury reports for the Sparks and Mercury look like ahead of their clash on Tuesday. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Los Angeles Sparks vs Phoenix Mercury Injury Report&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>When<\/strong>: August 26, 2025 | 7:00 pm ET<br><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles<br><strong>TV<\/strong>: NBA TV | Live Stream: Fubo, WNBA League Pass&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Los Angeles Sparks&rsquo; Injuries&nbsp;<\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>None<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>The Sparks don&rsquo;t have any player listed on the injury report for their upcoming clash against the Mercury.&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phoenix Mercury&rsquo;s Injuries<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Phoenix Mercury injury report for Tuesday&rsquo;s game at the Los Angeles Sparks:<br><br>No injuries to report.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WNBA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#WNBA<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Desert Wave Media (@DesertWaveCo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DesertWaveCo\/status\/1960131203149017229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 26, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>None<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>The Phoenix Mercury don&rsquo;t have any injury to report for their upcoming clash against the Sparks.
