The Phoenix Mercury continue their early-season search for consistency Wednesday night as they visit the New York Liberty in a matchup of teams with championship expectations but uneven starts. Phoenix comes into Wednesday night’s game at the Barclays Center with a record of 2-5 which has them sitting in last place in the Western Conference standings. The team’s most recent game resulted in a narrow 82-80 loss to Atlanta and highlighted areas in which the Mercury excelled and areas that will need work. Kahleah Copper has been a bright spot for Phoenix, scoring 26 points against the Dream while Alyssa Thomas nearly earned a triple-double with 20 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.

The Mercury’s slow start comes after a major offseason shift with the loss of All-Star Satou Sabally, who departed for New York after helping Phoenix reach the 2025 Finals. Her absence has reshaped the Mercury’s identity, placing greater pressure on Copper and Thomas to carry the offense; a leadership role they have not quite settled into yet.
Meanwhile, New York has reloaded rather than rebuilt. The Liberty added Sabally to a core featuring Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones, forming one of the league’s most talented lineups on paper. However, early returns have been mixed. New York is coming off back-to-back losses, including a sluggish showing against Golden State in which turnovers proved costly. Sabally recently made her season debut after injury delays and her gradual integration remains a focal point.
Wednesday’s matchup offers both teams a chance to stabilize and break their losing streaks. For Phoenix, it’s about rediscovering last year’s Finals form and for New York, it’s about turning elite talent into cohesive dominance.
