Siegrist injured her right knee during a June 11 loss to the Mercury, and on Monday, the Wings revealed the severity of the injury. She suffered an anterolateral tibial plateau fracture, which can sideline an athlete for at least 6-8 weeks. The good news for Siegrist and the Wings is that the injury does not require surgery, and she’s expected to return at some point this season. Rookie Aziaha James received more playing time in Friday’s loss to the Aces, logging 21 minutes off the bench. That trend may continue, especially with Dallas boasting a 1-11 record.

Sabally came out hot Sunday afternoon, tallying 18 points, six rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in the first half. While she wasn’t nearly as impactful in the second half, the Mercury forward finished with a complete stat line to help Phoenix moved to 4-2 in Commissioner’s Cup play. Due to tiebreakers, it will be difficult for them to grab the top spot, but Sabally’s excellent start to her first season with the Mercury is of greater importance. Amid the most productive season of her career, Sabally appears poised to earn her third All-Star game selection.

Gray put on a show during the first half of Sunday’s 89-56 Commissioner’s Cup victory, shooting 6-of-9 from the field with five three-pointers. The veteran guard finished with a career-high 32 points, and Gray’s top three offensive outputs have all occurred this season. With Atlanta playing a more open offensive style under first-year head coach Karl Smesko, Gray is off to the most productive start of her WNBA career. And with the Dream’s margin of victory, they’re in position to clinch the top spot in the East with a win over Liberty on Tuesday.

Reese notched a personal milestone in Sunday’s Commissioner’s Cup victory, recording her first career triple-double. While she did not have the best day from the field, the second-year forward did her usual handiwork on the glass and hit a new career-high in assists. Add in the defensive stats, and this was an excellent day to have Reese rostered. The field-goal shooting can be a nuisance, but percentages aren’t scoring categories in standard ESPN leagues. Sunday’s performance was a friendly reminder of what Reese is capable of, especially with the Sky playing without injured point guard Courtney Vandersloot.

Thornton has been on a roll recently, recording a double-double in three straight games. To say she held her own against Seattle’s talented frontcourt would be an understatement; Kayla was the best player on the court for significant stretches of the contest. She matched her season-high in points while establishing a new high in rebounds. Despite averaging nearly 29 fantasy points per game, Thornton is rostered in just under 82 percent of ESPN leagues. That percentage should increase in the aftermath of her recent performances.

After undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on her left knee in mid-May, Copper did not play in Phoenix’s first 11 games. She’s set to make her debut Sunday night, with the Mercury making the news official on Saturday. While Copper may not take on a complete workload immediately, the talented scorer can be a difference-maker in fantasy leagues. Sami Whitcomb may be the most likely candidate to move to the bench, but she will still figure prominently in the Mercury rotation.

Sunday’s game will be the second Wilson has missed due to the league’s concussion protocols. Elizabeth Kitley started Friday’s comeback victory over the Wings, playing 18 minutes and accounting for two points, four rebounds and one assist. While Kitley may retain that role on Sunday, rookie Aaliyah Nye (five points, four rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer in 22 minutes) should once again play more minutes off the bench.

Sabrina Ionescu willed the Liberty through stretches making big shots, including a 34-foot three-pointer right as the second quarter ended to give the Liberty only a three-point deficit heading into halftime. She scored at many different levels on Saturday afternoon including from deep, in the restricted area right at the rim, in the paint, and in the mid-range, making shots 16-17 feet away from the basket. The Liberty scored 38 points in the second half and Ionescu accounted for almost 45% of them, scoring an even 17 points in the second half in addition to 17 also in the first half.

Clark’s return to play opened with a bang after being out for five games. With 1:30 left in the first quarter, Clark scored 9 points off three straight three-pointers in 47 total seconds to tie the game up at 24 apiece. Clark would hit three more three-pointers in the first half including a 31-foot step-back trey over the outstretched arms of Breanna Stewart. Half of those first half made threes were from over 30 feet deep. Clark’s second half was quieter on the scoring front, but she still found ways to impact the game. Six of her nine total assists all came in the second half, finding Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull for open shots in addition to hitting Aliyah Boston cutting to the basket on the inside.
