The New York Liberty (24-15) visit the Phoenix Mercury (24-14) on Saturday, August 30, at the PHX Arena.
This is the fourth time that the Mercury and Liberty will face each other this season. The Mercury won the first two games by double-digit margins, but the Liberty came back and won the last game, 89-76.
The Liberty are coming off back-to-back wins against the Connecticut Sun and Washington Mystics. In the win over the Mystics, five Liberty players scored in double digits. Isabelle Harrison topscored with 16 points, while Emma Meesseman put in 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
After a month-long absence due to injury, Breanna Stewart had a near double-double of 12 points and 9 rebounds in her second game back. However, Sabrina Ionescu didn't play and she is still listed day-to-day on the team's injury report.
Meanwhile, the Mercury have also won three straight games, including a recent 83-79 win against the Chicago Sky. Kahleah Cooper couldn't be stopped, as she put in a game-high 28 points built on 56.3% shooting. Alyssa Thomas contributed 15 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals.
Fortunately for the Mercury, they don't have any names listed in their injury report.
