We have planned five WNBA -Matchups for Friday night at ION.
There are four games at the same time, in which the Phoenix Mercury plays the Atlanta Dream, the New York Liberty opposite the Connecticut Sun, the Golden State Valkyries who take on the Chicago Sky and the Dallas wings that the Indiana fever organize at 7:30 pm et. Friday’s action will be concluded with the Los Angeles Sparks on the way to play the Seattle Storm at 10 p.m.
Prepare your popcorn for Mercury-Dream!
On paper, Tmercury-Dream is the most intriguing game on the schedule. Phoenix takes this match with a record of 16-10 and Atlanta is on 16-11. With the dream that hosts the game, they will have a small advantage, but this is really an even affair.
In this elite Guard Play by Allisha Gray, Atlanta will be in this confidence, especially since Rhyne Howard stays with a knee injury and Jordin Canada is doubtful due to illness. Gray is an average of 18.3 points per match this season.
Allisha Gray has moved to 6th place in the Atlanta Dream’s Assist List (328), which passes Shaleee Lehning. The triple All-Star, now in her third season with the dream, is in the middle of an MVP-worthy season. pic.twitter.com/cjmxyi3jfs

Can the Mercury Counter with their forward duo from Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas? Sabally leads the team in scoring and falls 17.6 per match. Alyssa Thomas is a maestro of basketball, on average 16.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.2 assists of the season.
We will see which style will win this Friday in the Gateway Center.
Can the fever continue to roll?
Despite the absence of Caitlin Clark’s Lies injury, the fever has not only been able to float, but also shine. Indiana is currently on a three-game winning streak and stacks victories thanks to the trio of Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and Aari McDonald.
Mitchell, the longest spoken fever player, has raised her attacking output with Clark. She has an average of 21.8 points per match during the last five outings of the team. Boston is always good and the team leader is played in minutes during this Non-Clark Stretch, on average 31.8 minutes per match.
However, the current form of McDonald is the most surprising. She has made full use of her chances since she became a member of the fever, first with an exception of the emergency deprivation and now with a contract for the rest of the season.
Aari McDonald called Game
She recorded a career-high 27 points, went a perfect 10-10 from the free throw line and added 4 assists in last night’s victory against the Mercury. pic.twitter.com/u5tdkptci9
– Indiana Fever (@indianEfever) July 31, 2025
In the most recent victory of 107-101 of the fever on the Mercury, she scored 27 points on 7-out-11 shooting. With Indiana who records Dallas on Friday, they will try to extend the longest winning series in the WNBA to four games and count.
What else should you keep an eye on
The other three games are not that intriguing.
The Liberty is one of the best teams in the WNBA, and the sun is the opposite. Yes, Connecticut will be at home, but an upset of freedom, which will not have the wounded Breanna Stewart, but Emma Meesseman could have, simply does not seem realistic.
Big news for the @Nyliberty
Emma Meeseman is in New York and can come to the team as soon as Friday in CT. Emma was only MVP of Eurobasket and is a former WNBA Finals MVP.– Holly Rowe (@sportsiren) July 30, 2025
The Valkyries will not be tough favorites against the air, but this is another game that certainly seems to go in a certain direction. Chicago has struggled all year round, with Angel Reese too often the only reliable player of the team. Reese is on average 14.2 points and 12.6 rebounds of the season; However, it is expected that she will be out of the line -up again because of her persistent return.
Very long injury report for tomorrow Chicago Sky vs. Golden State Valkyries Game:
Angel Reese – Out (Back)
Ariel Atkins – Out (leg)
Hailey van Lith – Doubtful (ankle)
Michua has a user – doubtful (knee)#Skytown– CC, ESQ. (@Itscwayworld) July 31, 2025
Storm-Sparks can be a fascinating game. Seattle is a top team in the WNBA and the Sparks played relatively well after the All-Star break. If they can clean up a few things, they can become a Playoff team. Winning a road game against an elite team would certainly show that they are starting things to turn in Los Angeles.
