Phoenix Mercury head coach Nate Tibbetts told reporters on Friday that veteran guard Kelsey Plum will miss the team's next game on Sunday against the Portland Fire.
Plum is expected to be re-evaluated after that game to see if she will be able to return for Phoenix's next game, which isn't until Saturday, August 22.
The veteran guard missed Phoenix's last game against the Los Angeles Sparks in what would have been a game against her former team. Plum was acquired at the 2026 WNBA trade deadline in an infamous move that saw Los Angeles pick up a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and guard Monique Akoa Makani.
Without Plum, the Mercury picked up the 94-87 win over the Sparks, ending a three-game losing streak.
The veteran guard didn't play in the second half of Phoenix's game against the Washington Mystics on August 9th due to "left calf tightness."
