POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury Lost MUST WIN Game To Indiana Fever Despite Alyssa Thomas GEM

Gilbert McGregor, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomas — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:23:40 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury dropped a heartbreaker Thursday, falling 92-89 to the Indiana Fever. Phoenix led by double digits multiple times in the game, but it was the efforts of Kelsey Mitchell in a frenetic fourth quarter that led Indiana to the win. The Mercury were led by Alyssa Thomas, who finished with 22 points, six rebounds and seven assists on the night.

Mitchell led all scorers with 29 points on 10-of-22 shooting and on the Phoenix side, Kahleah Copper tied Thomas' team-high with 22 points. Ultimately, the Fever made too many plays down the stretch, punctuated by the layup from Mitchell that put them ahead for good.

PHNX Mercury breaks down all that went down Thursday before looking ahead to what's next. Follow the show: @PHNX_Mercury, @GilMcGregor_, @StephenPG3 and @Kevoposts!

Why The Phoenix Mercury NEED TO WIN vs Caitlin Clark & Indiana Fever 👀

Gilbert McGregor, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomas — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:57:33 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury’s win streak was snapped at three games when they fell to the Chicago Sky Tuesday. It was an uncharacteristic showing for Phoenix, which dished out nine turnovers while committing 20 turnovers.

As evidenced by the numbers, the Mercury could be much better, and they’ll have an opportunity to do so when they’re back in action Thursday. PHNX Mercury breaks down what they saw on Tuesday, spinning things forward to the expectations and how things can be much better when they face the Indiana Fever.

Phoenix Mercury Can MOVE UP In STANDINGS If Kahleah Copper KEEPS All-Star Form

Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomas, Gil McGregor — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:16:34 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury may be turning a corner, ending their three-game road trip with two consecutive wins. After a gritty, shorthanded win over the Toronto Tempo, the Merc are back in the Valley for a three-game homestand that begins with a Thursday meeting with the Seattle Storm.

Today’s PHNX Mercury show recaps Saturday’s win by placing the spotlight on standout performers DeWanna Bonner, Valeriane Ayayi and Kahleah Copper, who could be deserving of league-wide honors. From there, they react to the confirmation of news surrounding rookie Jovana Nogic before spinning things forward.

Will Phoenix’s ability to earn a win without Alyssa Thomas serve as a turning point in this season? Gil and Stephen look into what it could mean in the big picture.

POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury COLLAPSE After HOT Start In CHAOTIC Loss To Fever

Erika Day, Gilbert McGregor, Kevin Thomas — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 03:55:49 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury had this game exactly where they wanted it early, jumping out to a 19-6 start against the Indiana Fever. Then came the second quarter, the third-quarter collapse, six technical fouls, a Myisha Hines-Allen ejection and, well… sigh. Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas gave Phoenix decent minutes, but the Mercury couldn’t hold onto the early control in another frustrating loss. Erika & Gil break down the chaos, the whistle, the wasted start and where Phoenix goes from here.

POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury BEAT Storm For 5th Win, But Roster Questions LOOM

Erika Day, Gilbert McGregor, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomas — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 23:38:11 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury finally got back in the win column, beating the Seattle Storm 93-73 for their fifth win of the season, and this one came with a little French flair. Valériane Ayayi and Noémie Brochant brought major energy for Phoenix, giving the Mercury the kind of spark, spacing and bench production they have desperately needed during a frustrating start to the year.

The PHNX Mercury crew break down the much-needed win, Alyssa Thomas setting the tone, the French connection showing out, and whether this version of Phoenix is something real or just a necessary exhale against a struggling Storm team. Plus, the latest on Monique Akoa Makani’s injury and the very strange timing of Jovana Nogić’s contract suspension.

Phoenix Mercury Lose HEARTBREAKER Despite Kahleah Copper’s 41-Point Night

Erika Day, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Gilbert McGregor — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 01:47:57 GMT

Kahleah Copper delivered a career night, but the Phoenix Mercury still could not close the deal.

Copper dropped 41 points and 10 rebounds as she and Kelsey Plum became the first opposing players in WNBA history to each score 40+ in the same game. But after a wild fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Sparks dominated overtime and handed Phoenix another brutal loss.

PHNX Mercury crew break down Kah’s historic performance, the late-game execution, Kelsey Plum’s takeover, Alyssa Thomas’ playmaking, Natasha Mack’s impact and what this loss says about the Mercury as they get ready for the Las Vegas Aces.

Kevin Thomas, Erika Day, Gilbert McGregor, Stephen PridGeon-Garner — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 05:42:10 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury suffered one of their most disappointing losses of the season, getting overwhelmed by Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings from start to finish.

Paige put on a clinic offensively while the Mercury never found consistent rhythm on either end of the floor, leading to another frustrating night for a team still searching for answers.

The Phoenix Mercury finally got one.

After six straight losses, Phoenix escaped Seattle with a 72-68 win over the Storm in a game that was anything but pretty. Natasha Mack turned in one of her best performances of the season, the Mercury defended at a high level for most of the night, and Phoenix finally found a way to close out a game.

POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury DROP 5th Straight Despite a BETTER Defensive Performance

Erika Day, Kevin Thomas, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Gilbert McGregor — Sat, 30 May 2026 03:44:11 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury have now lost five straight games and sit at 2-7 after another loss to the New York Liberty. The frustrating part? Phoenix did a lot of things well enough to win. Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper each scored 15 points, the Mercury forced 17 turnovers, and held New York under 70 points deep into the fourth quarter. But poor shooting, a massive rebounding deficit, and another offensive drought proved too much to overcome.

Erika, Stephen & Gil break down what went wrong against the Liberty, whether this losing streak is exposing bigger issues, and what the Mercury need to fix before the season slips away.

Phoenix Mercury Fall Into An Atlanta Dream Trap DROPPING Another Game

Kevin Thomas, Gil McGregor — Wed, 27 May 2026 02:20:31 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury had the Atlanta Dream on the ropes… until the fourth quarter completely flipped the game.

Phoenix led by as many as 15 and carried a lead into the final period before Atlanta caught fire late, escaping with a two-point win after shooting a ridiculous 71% from three in the fourth quarter.

Meghan Hall of USA Today joins the show to break down Atlanta’s late-game execution, why the Dream have become one of the toughest teams in the WNBA to put away, and what this loss revealed about where the Mercury stand in 2026.

POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury’s Slow Start Gets WORSE in Loss to Sparks

The Phoenix Mercury dropped their second straight home game, falling to the Los Angeles Sparks and moving to 2–4 on the season, the worst six-game start of the Nate Tibbetts era.

Erika and Stephen break down what went wrong for Phoenix, why the offense still feels uneven, what the Sparks exposed, and how concerned the Mercury should be this early in the season. Plus, what needs to change before this skid turns into something bigger.

Phoenix Mercury BEAT the Undefeated Sky Behind ANOTHER Jovana Nogic Masterclass ✨

Erika Day, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomsa, Gilbert McGregor — Tue, 19 May 2026 02:08:34 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury handed the previously undefeated Chicago Sky their first loss of the season, but the biggest story might be Jovana Nogic continuing to look like one of the steals of the entire WNBA season.

Erika, Stephen and Gil breaks down Phoenix’s biggest win so far, why the Mercury are beginning to establish a real identity, and how Nogic has already made WNBA history as the league’s highest-scoring undrafted rookie. Plus, Monique Akoa Makani’s return appears imminent, and Nick U’Ren drawing interest from the Philadelphia 76ers says a lot about the respect Phoenix is earning around the league.

Why The Phoenix Mercury Are STILL Missing Roster Pieces

Erika Day, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Gilbert McGregor, Kevin Thomas — Thu, 14 May 2026 01:50:01 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury are just 1-2 to start the season, but the bigger story might be that this roster STILL hasn’t fully come together yet.

After Fiba delays kept her out to begin the year, Valériane Ayayi finally made her Mercury debut and Phoenix immediately threw her into the starting lineup. So what does that tell us about how the Mercury envision this team long term?

We break down Ayayi’s fit alongside Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper, why the Mercury’s defensive identity already looks legit, and how roster continuity, chemistry, and missing pieces continue to impact the offense early in the season.

Plus: what’s real about Phoenix’s 1-2 start, what still needs to improve, and why this team may look VERY different a few weeks from now.

Why The Phoenix Mercury’s 1-1 Start Is MORE Encouraging Than It Looks

Erika Day, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomas — Tue, 12 May 2026 01:40:59 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury are 1-1 to open the season, but the context around that start matters. The Mercury open the year with the second-hardest opening schedule in the WNBA, including the team’s only back-to-back of the entire season, and still showed flashes of what this group can become.

Erika, Stephen and Girl break down the Mercury’s ugly first half against the Valkyries, the second-half comeback attempt that cut the game to one possession, and why there are still plenty of encouraging signs despite the loss.

Plus, Alyssa Thomas continues to drive nearly everything offensively for Phoenix, Jovana Nogic stays red-hot from three, and the Mercury still haven’t fully unlocked the best version of Kahleah Copper yet.

The Mercury home opener is next, and Phoenix still looks like a team with another level waiting to be unlocked.

POSTGAME: Phoenix Mercury STUN Aces on Ring Night Behind BRILLIANT Jovana Nogic Debut

Erika Day, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomas — Sun, 10 May 2026 00:13:14 GMT

"Experts" Are WRONG About Alyssa Thomas & Phoenix Mercury!

Erika Day, Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Kevin Thomas — Fri, 08 May 2026 02:34:52 GMT

The Mercury just went to the WNBA Finals, returned two thirds of the core of that group, and somehow STILL feel like an afterthought in a lot of national conversations heading into 2026.

Phoenix already showed flashes during preseason play, but the biggest thing people continue to underestimate is the impact Alyssa Thomas has on winning. And when you pair that with continuing to pressure defenses downhill and Phoenix having more lineup versatility than people give them credit for, it’s hard to understand why this team keeps getting counted out.

Today we’re talking about why the Mercury still don’t seem to get the respect they deserve, why Alyssa Thomas remains one of the most impactful players in basketball, how Kahleah Copper raises the ceiling of this team, and why Phoenix might be getting overlooked AGAIN heading into the 2026 WNBA season.

Phoenix Mercury Look Overseas To RELOAD After Satou Sabally LEFT for NY Liberty

Stephen PridGeon-Garner, Gil McGregor, Erika Day, Kevin Thomas — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 01:55:09 GMT

The Phoenix Mercury are trying to run it back after a trip to the 2025 WNBA Finals, but they’ll be doing it without Satou Sabally, who left in free agency for New York. So now what? On today’s PHNX Mercury show, we’re breaking down all of Phoenix’s offseason moves, from bringing back Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, DeWanna Bonner and Sami Whitcomb to adding more depth and taking another swing overseas with Valériane Ayayi and Noémie Brochant. Is this enough to keep the Mercury in the title mix, or did Satou’s exit change everything? We’re talking roster fit, training camp battles, who needs to step up, and what this team could actually look like in 2026.
