The Washington Mystics will play the Dallas Wings later tonight. In all likelihood, Washington will win the game given their overall depth. Dallas is just 10-20 and well out of the playoff picture. And if the Mystics win. they will also clinch their best regular season record in franchise history and have a 23-8 record.
That said, they have a backcourt injury bug to deal with.
Starting point guard Kristi Toliver hasn’t played since Aug. 8 due to a bone bruise on her knee, one that may be worse than originally anticipated. Fortunately, Natasha Cloud is already Washington’s leading assister so she can play point guard full-time instead.
