The Dallas Wings will move to the Footprint Center for a WNBA game against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday. Both these teams are headed into the matchup after disappointing defeats in their previous encounters.

The Wings were up against the New York Liberty on Wednesday. They had a great first quarter, but as things progressed, Liberty started taking control of the matchup. Their stellar offensive display in the next three quarters helped them get to a dominant 91-73 win. Marine Mabrey tried to keep the Wings in the game with a 19-point performance. Teaira McCowan also stepped up as she scored 17 points and bagged 13 boards on the night. However, none of those efforts was enough as Liberty were too strong for the Wings. With this loss, they move to sixth place in the standings. Althought the result of this game won’t make a difference for them, they will be looking to move to the playoffs in good form. They could certainly expect to play some great basketball as their opponents are a Phoenix Mercury side that are looking depleted ahead of the game.

Heading into the matchup, Mercury suffered an 86-77 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. Sophie Cunningham starred for them with a stunning 24-point performance. Shey Peddy also stepped up with a 21-point display. However, none of that would be enough to prevent a loss on the night for Phoenix. They are currently placed 10th on the table and have the same record as four other teams in the league. They could make it to the playoffs, but the result of their next two encounters is going to be crucial.

Injury Report

The Dallas Wings have reported that they will take the court on Friday without Satou Sabally and Arike Ogunbowale. Both these players are ruled out due to injuries. Meanwhile, Mercury will be without Kia Nurse and Diana Taurasi, who are both ruled out due to injuries. Recently, Skylar Diggins -Smith was also reported to be out for the season due to personal reasons.
