The Aces will try to grab another victory Saturday as they face off against a struggling Mercury team at home.

Mercury injury report vs Aces:
— Hayden Cilley (@HaydenCilley) July 11, 2026
Sami Whitcomb – QUESTIONABLE (Left Knee Injury Management)
Natasha Mack – OUT (Left Foot)
With Whitcomb making her season debut on Thursday, it's likely the team will take extra precautions.
The Mercury have listed Sami Whitcomb as questionable due to left knee injury management and she is in danger of missing her first game since making her season debut in Thursday's loss.
Aces Injury Report: Will A'ja Wilson Play?
The Aces have two players listed on their injury report for Saturday, though Wilson is not one of them.
Of course, Wilson returned from a two-game absence due to a right leg injury in Thursday's victory as she shook off her questionable tag and she will be available once again Saturday as she is off the injury report entirely.
Las Vegas has listed Dana Evans as questionable due to a left leg injury and there is a chance she could make her season debut Saturday.
