Mercury forwards Alyssa Thomas and Natasha Mack are listed as probable to play against the Wings. Thomas has been sidelined for the past five games with a left calf injury while Mack hasn’t played yet this season due to a back injury.

Phoenix head coach Nate Tibbetts is excited to have both players back and recovering well.
“The plan is for [Thomas] to play,” Tibbetts said to the media on Tuesday afternoon. “She’s been trending in the right direction. She had a really good day today, along with her and Mack.”
