Phoenix Mercury 2022 Stats

Phoenix Mercury 2022 season: 15–21, scoring 81.1 points per game and allowing 84.1 (-3 average margin) across 36 games. Updated August 16, 2026.

Scouting report

The Mercury finished 15–21, 8th in the league standings, with a -3.4 net rating that ranked 9th of 12. The problems ran both ways: 8th in offensive rating and 8th in defensive rating. Scoring was spread around — Skylar Diggins led at 19.7 a game, but no one accounted for more than 20% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Shey Peddy as the one they can least afford to lose — +11.9 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Jun 5–Jun 12) and a 21-point rout of the Fever on Jun 29. The lows: a 7-game losing streak (May 17–Jun 3) and a 27-point loss at the Dream on May 29. They went 7–12 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
