The 2020 WNBA season schedule has been re-released and the Washington Mystics can still expect to be a factor in the playoff race, even if it’s unlikely that they’ll repeat ON PAPER.
2019 WNBA Finals MVP Emma Meesseman, Ariel Atkins, Aerial Powers and Tianna Hawkins are the key returning members from the 2019 WNBA championship team. And though it is possible that 2019 WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne and newly-acquired star Tina Charles could play, let’s assume that they don’t.
Since neither of them are at IMG Academy at the moment, let’s assume they aren’t playing this season — and consider it an added bonus if/when they actually do play.
