The Washington Mystics announced on Thursday evening that they will formally introduce Rui Machida to the media in a press conference on Monday evening at 8 p.m. ET.
Machida comes to the Mystics from the Fujitsu RedWave in the Japanese W-League. She had a breakout summer in 2021 in the 2020 Olympics, leading Japan to the Silver Medal in women’s 5X5 basketball after averaging 7.2 points, 12.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds in the Olympics per game in the tournament.
While Machida is certainly going to get a big introduction, it’s important to keep some things in perspective.
