Single-Elimination Playoff Game against Dallas Tomorrow at Wells Fargo Arena
PHOENIX – Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton,the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018
NBA Draft,has generously purchased a block of 300 tickets for the Phoenix
Mercury’s single-elimination Round 1 playoff game against the Dallas Wings
tomorrow (Aug. 21) at Arizona State University’s Wells Fargo Arena at 5:30 p.m.
Those tickets will be available to be claimed on a first-come, first-served
basis on the north side of the arena beginning at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow. Fans may
claim up to four tickets per person, while supplies last.
Ayton has been an outspoken supporter of the Mercury on social media, and
praised WNBA all-time leading scorer Diana Taurasi as “the Michael Jordan of the
WNBA” following a Suns Summer League practice on July 4. The versatile big man
was named to the 2018 All-NBA Summer League Second Team after leading the Suns
with 14.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.00 blocks per game while shooting 59.5
percent from the field as he was one of just seven players in Las Vegas to
average a double-double.
The three-time WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury have clinched its franchise-record
sixth consecutive playoff appearance, the tenth in the last 12 seasons and 13th
in franchise history, and will aim for a league-record tying fourth WNBA
Championship this postseason. Tickets for the team’s Round 1 playoff matchup
with the Dallas Wings at Wells Fargo Arena tomorrow (Aug. 21) are available
online at PhoenixMercury.com or by phone at 602-252-WNBA.
