Phoenix Mercury 2026 Stats

Scouting report

The Mercury are 16–28, 10th in the league standings, with a -4 net rating that ranks 9th of 15. The problems run both ways: 11th in offensive rating and 11th in defensive rating. Their calling card is getting to the line (28.6 attempts a game, 3rd); the soft spots, offensive rebounding (8.6 a game, 15th) and getting outshot (50.5% eFG vs. 53.5% allowed). Scoring is spread around — Kahleah Copper leads at 21.5 a game, but no one accounts for more than 23% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Alyssa Thomas as the one they can least afford to lose — +9.1 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Jun 24–Jul 2) and a 33-point rout of the Aces on May 9. The lows: a 6-game losing streak (May 19–Jun 1) and a 48-point loss at the Aces on Jul 11. They are 4–21 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team held back by a lack of second chances — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
