Phoenix Mercury forward Natasha Mack has emerged as an early candidate for Most Improved Player, but her career-best year will be put on hold due to an untimely injury.
The Mercury announced Monday, June 29 that Mack will be sidelined at least two weeks after sustaining a bone bruise in her left foot, dealing the team's injury-riddled lineup another blow. Guard Sami Whitcomb (left knee) has yet to make her debut this season, while guard Monique Akoa Makani (left hamstring) has missed the last four games.
The news of Mack's injury follows an Instagram post she shared over the weekend, which showed her wearing a boot on her left foot while using a scooter to get around. Mack will be reevaluated by the team in 2-4 weeks.
