The Mercury have six games left this month, and their next one is against the Golden State Valkyries. In their last meeting, Phoenix beat Golden State 78-77.

Last month was a busy month for the Mercury, as they navigated injuries to key players like Satou Sabally and Kahleah Copper. They also signed DeWanna Bonner, who started the season with the Indiana Fever. However, after a brief stint in Indiana, she became a free agent. She signed with the Mercury, the team that drafted her in 2009. July was also the month when the WNBA held its All-Star Game. Alyssa Thomas played for Team Collier, who beat Team Clark 151-131.
