India, Aug. 8 -- The Connecticut Sun will host the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night, looking to snap a five-game losing streak that began against the same opponent in July.

However, the Sun could be without their leading scorer this season, with Brittney Griner's availability uncertain ahead of the scheduled 7:30 pm ET tip-off.

Griner has averaged 14.1 points over 16 games for Connecticut this season, the highest scoring average among players currently on the Sun roster. Her presence could prove crucial as the team looks to end its recent losing run.

According to Connecticut's injury report released Thursday, Griner, 35, is listed as questionable because of a left knee issue.
