What happened: The Phoenix Mercury have waived guard Sha Carter. The former Division II standout originally earned a place on the 2026 opening-day roster after going undrafted.
Why it matters: The transaction creates an open spot on the active roster. This personnel adjustment arrives as the front office evaluates its depth midway through the campaign.
By the numbers: Phoenix holds a 10-13 record and carries a three-game winning streak. The squad averages 85.3 points per game while surrendering 85.5 points defensively.
What to watch: The Mercury host the Chicago Sky tonight.
