Both her shots missed the hoop, but she managed two blocks, deflecting an attempt from the Suns.

Park's fifth game was on Thursday as the Las Vegas Aces faced the Mercury, who were tied with the Aces at fifth on the WNBA table.

Las Vegas won 85-79 against Phoenix, putting themselves at fourth on the table.

Park and her team will face the Indiana Fever at home on Saturday.
