The Mercury re-signed Gustafson to a one-year deal Friday, Rachel Galligan of WNBAinsidr.com reports.

Gustafson averaged 3.8 points and 1.9 rebounds in 33 games for the Mercury last season. Considering the 26-year-old center came off the bench in all of her appearances, and Brittney Griner intends to play in 2023, Gustafson will likely remain in a reserve role.

Gustafson recorded 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during the Mercury's 79-63 loss to the Aces on Wednesday.

On a night where only two of the Mercury's starters scored in double-digits, Gustafson's 12 points from the bench was a welcome addition. The center averaged 3.8 points during the regular season, but Wednesday's matchup marked Gustafson's consecutive 12 point game and third double-digit contest in the last four games.

Gustafson amassed 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Sunday's 82-67 loss to Chicago.

Gustafson posted a double-double to end the regular season and scored in double digits in two of her last three games. However, she only averaged 3.8 points per game on the season, so she shouldn't be a factor in the upcoming playoff series against the Aces.

Gustafson contributed 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 86-77 loss to the Lynx.

Gustafson posted a career-high mark in points scored off the bench for Phoenix, also tallying her first double-digit outing of the season. Her six field goals also marked a season-high for Gustafson, who scored 11 points in the first half alone.

Gustafson is averaging 2.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 8.0 minutes in her last seven games.

08/03/2022 2:27 PM

Gustafson has played in seven of the Mercury's last 10 games. She has played more than 10 minutes in two of her last three games, and should continue to see playing time with Britney Griner's continued absence.

Gustafson recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt) over four minutes during Wednesday's 99-78 win over Indiana.

06/30/2022 10:28 AM

Gustafson's playing time remained limited Wednesday, but she converted 60 percent of her field-goal attempts in the blowout win. She had a minimal impact in June, averaging just 1.8 points in 7.5 minutes per game over 12 appearances.

Gustafson closed with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 73-70 loss to Chicago.

06/01/2022 8:16 AM

Gustafson's playing time remained limited during Tuesday's narrow loss, but she matched her season high on the scoreboard. Over the last four matchups, she's averaged 7.3 points in 12.3 minutes per game.

Gustafson signed with the Mercury on Wednesday, Kurtis Zimmerman of Across The Timeline reports.

Gustafson will be competing for a roster spot to help out the Mercury's center depth, which is especially crucial considering Brittney Griner's detention in Russia. Gustafson appeared in 11 games with Washington last season, averaging 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 9.9 minutes.

Gustafson was released by the Mystics on Thursday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

04/28/2022 11:02 AM

Gustafson joined the Mystics on a training-camp deal in January and logged 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and two blocks in 21 minutes off the bench during the Mystics' preseason opener against the Dream on Sunday. However, she didn't appear in Wednesday's exhibition matchup against Minnesota and will now seek out other opportunities ahead of the regular season.

Gustafson signed a training camp contract with the Mystics on Thursday.

Gustafson made 11 appearances (one start) for Washington in 2021 and averaged 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per game. She'll now attempt to land a roster spot for the 2022 campaign.
