The Washington Wizards and Mystics practice at the same facility in Congress Heights. Even though their seasons don’t overlap heavily, it should be no surprise that their players will interact quite often, especially since some of their key players like Mystics forward Elena Delle Donne don’t play overseas.
Speaking about Delle Donne specifically, she hasn’t played since the 2019 WNBA Finals due to a back injury. She also credits a player for helping her recovery along the way.
Without being asked about the Wizards specifically, Delle Donne mentioned that then-Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook was one of her biggest helpers along the way.
