The Washington Mystics are gearing up for the 25th season of WNBA basketball (so you know, this is Washington’s 24th as a franchise). The 2019 champions are looking to regain their elite status after an injury-riddled 2020 season that ended in heartbreaking fashion. Elena Delle Donne, Natasha Cloud and (finally) Tina Charles will don Mystics jerseys together for the first time.
The stars will join a group of players who grew in the Wubble (that’s the WNBA’s endearing nickname for their bubble last season), including Myisha Hines-Allen and Leilani Mitchell. Unlike other EDD-led Mystics teams, this year’s group is full of intrigue and question marks.
