The Chicago Sky and Phoenix Mercury face each other on Tuesday at PHX Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. This is their first matchup of the season after the Mercury swept the Sky three games to none in last year's regular season series.
The Sky are still looking for their first win of the season after starting the year 0-3. They are still searching for a consistent offense in 2025. All three of their losses so far this season have come by at least 13 points.
On the other side of the matchup, the Mercury are 3-1 on the year and are undefeated at home. After losing their entire starting lineup in the offseason, Phoenix hasn't missed a beat, holding one of the best records in the league.
Trending
Both teams underwent major changes during the winter. The Sky let their leading scorer, Chennedy Carter, walk in free agency and handed the reins over to All-Star forward Angel Reese. The Mercury were forced to rebuild most of their rotation, bringing in Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas to replace the players they lost, including WNBA legends in Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi.
