Mercury superfans explain making their famous sparkling jerseys
Phoenix Mercury superfans Veronica Philpot and Kevin Arnett go in-depth about their famed sparkling jerseys and what it took to put them together.
The Phoenix Mercury are officially playoff-bound heading into the matchup against the New York Liberty on Saturday, Aug. 30, at PHX Arena.
The Mercury clinched the playoff berth Friday, Aug. 29, when the Atlanta Dream defeated the Dallas Wings. The Mercury are 24-14 and fourth in the WNBA standings.
The Liberty (24-15) have not clinched their playoff berth yet, which makes their meeting against the Mercury more important. The Mercury have a 2-1 advantage over the Liberty this season and can clinch a crucial season series with a win.
The Mercury don’t have any injuries to report heading into the game.
The Liberty has several players listed on the injury report, including key players Natasha Cloud (nose), Sabrina Ionescu (left toe) and Jonquel Jones (illness), who were all listed as questionable. Forward Nyara Sabally is out with a right knee injury.
The game will be shown locally on Arizona’s Family 3TV and nationally on NBA TV.
