We are continuing our review of 2021, the year that recently was.
Unlike my review of the Washington Wizards’ 2021 calendar year last weekend, it’s quite easy to review the Mystics. The WNBA season doesn’t overlap into multiple calendar years.
In February 2021, the Mystics saw the departure of several key players from their 2019 WNBA championship team. Aerial Powers signed with the Minnesota Lynx and Tianna Hawkins signed with the Atlanta Dream during free agency. LaToya Sanders initially re-signed, but retired and stayed on as an assistant coach. And Emma Meesseman is no longer playing in the WNBA at this point.
