Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury take on rookie Olivia Miles and the Minnesota Lynx for the first time this season.

The Phoenix Mercury (1-1) opened the season playing spoilers on ring night with a 31-point win over the Las Vegas Aces. That was followed by a tough loss to the Golden State Valkyries. They continue a challenging early-season schedule against a third playoff team from last season in the Minnesota Lynx (0-1). Alyssa Thomas is off to an MVP-caliber start, averaging 19.5 points, 10.0 assists, and 7.5 rebounds per game. Rookie Novana Nogic has been the story of the first weekend of the season in the WNBA. She went undrafted in the 2026 WNBA Draft, but has earned a starting position with Phoenix. Nogic is averaging 17.5 points and 2.5 assists per game on 8-10 shooting from three.
