The Sparks have been in playoff contention, partly due to Kelsey Plum’s play this season. Plum leads the team, scoring right around 20 points per game. Dearica Hamby and Azura Stevens have been dominant on the glass as well, each grabbing about eight rebounds per game.
The game will be shown locally on Arizona’s Family Sports and nationally on NBA TV at 7 p.m. MST.
The Mercury will close the regular season in Dallas against the Wings on Thursday, Sept. 11.
The Wings have long been eliminated from the playoffs and have been depleted by injuries. Rookie Paige Bueckers has been the bright spot all season, leading all rookies with 18.9 points and 5.3 assists per game entering the Wings’ Sept. 4 game at Golden State.
