The Mercury have two players listed on their injury report for Monday, including star guard Kelsey Plum.
Phoenix has listed Plum as questionable as the team continues to await the results of her physical after the Mercury acquired her from the Los Angeles Sparks Sunday.
Of course, Plum has also been sidelined since June 25 due to a lower left leg injury, though there is a chance she could return and make her Mercury debut Monday.
The Mercury have listed Sami Whitcomb as probable due to left knee injury management and she is expected to play against the Sky.
Sky Injury Report: Will Skylar Diggins, Azura Stevens Play?

The Sky have three players listed on their injury report, including Skylar Diggins and Azura Stevens.
Chicago has ruled out Diggins due to a right knee injury that has sidelined her since July 7 and there is still no timetable for her return.
The Sky have also ruled out Azura Stevens due to personal reasons as she will miss her third straight game while Rickea Jackson will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.
Fans can catch Monday night’s matchup between the Mercury and Sky from Chicago at 9 p.m. ET on USA Network.
