The Phoenix Mercury will travel to Texas on Sunday to face the Dallas Wings as part of the ongoing 2024 WNBA Commissioner's Cup. The Mercury are looking to increase their chances of topping the Western Conference bracket, while the Wings are just playing to improve their overall standing and end a four-game skid.
Phoenix is 2-1 in the in-season tournament, with wins over the LA Sparks and Minnesota Lynx. Their lone loss of the Commissioner's Cup came against the Seattle Storm, who are currently sitting above the West bracket.
On the other hand, the Wings just want to snap a four-game losing streak. They have not won a game since May 26 when they defeated the Sparks. They lost four straight games against the Connecticut Sun, Minnesota Lynx, Las Vegas Aces and LA Sparks.
