Updated Aug 29, 2:26 AM CDTKara Dunn remains outside Phoenix's regular rotation

Dunn received a coach's-decision DNP against Washington even with Kelsey Plum unavailable and Phoenix using nine players. That is strong evidence that she remains behind the Mercury's established guards rather than missing time because of an injury. Lexi Held and Shay Ciezki took the reserve backcourt minutes Thursday, while Sami Whitcomb stayed in the starting group. Dunn could enter if Phoenix loses another guard or the score becomes lopsided, but a normal competitive role against Toronto would be a surprise.
