The Phoenix Mercury waived forward Liz Dixon on Tuesday.
After playing 10 games with the Mercury last season, she was brought back on a training camp contract prior to the start of the 2024 season before making the team’s final roster.
In 16 games this season, Dixon averaged 1.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.6 blocks in 9.5 minutes per game.
The Mercury’s roster currently stands at 10 players. Therefore, they will need to make a corresponding roster move to be at the league-required minimum of 11 players.
