Updated Aug 29, 2:26 AM CDTValeriane Ayayi is unavailable after contract suspension
Phoenix temporarily suspended Ayayi's contract Friday, making her unavailable for Saturday's game against Toronto. This is a roster-status absence, not an injury designation. Ayayi played 11.8 competitive minutes against Washington the night before the transaction, but that workload no longer carries into the current matchup. Lexi Held, Maddy Westbeld and Shay Ciezki are the most direct candidates to absorb the open reserve minutes, depending on Phoenix's guard-forward mix. Ayayi should remain outside the rotation until the Mercury restore her contract.
