Speaking about the decision to cut Ally Wilson, Mystics head coach Sydney Johnson said the team would "have some clarity in 2 to 3 days" about the move and the future. He said he remains a big fan of Wilson's, but the team is seeing other players emerge and develop. @TheIXSports

For what it's worth, Citron isn't wearing a boot or any sort of brace that I can see tonight, and earlier she was walking without a limp. @TheIXSports #WNBA

The Mystics beat the Sky 90-72 in the Commissioner's Cup. Three Mystics scored in double figures, and three more had 8 points. Shakira Austin led the way with 17 points, 8 rebs and 3 assists. @TheIXSports #WNBA

So what really happened between Caitlin Clark and Stephanie White? Our @TonyREast spoke to them both and sheds light, not heat on the situation in Indiana #WNBA https://t.co/HvTZibHqc7

So far, two @IvyLeague WBB alums have signed to play in @The3xBA this summer: @HarvardWBB's McKenzie Forbes and @PrincetonWBB's Carlie Littlefield.

Last season, seven Ivy Leaguers played in 3xBA (including Forbes and Littlefield), and in 2024, four did. @TheIXSports

There are two names on the @WashMystics injury report for Tuesday's game vs. Chicago:

Sonia Citron (left foot sprain) - out
Ally Wilson (right hamstring) - questionable

Wilson had her hamstring wrapped at practice on Sunday. More TK on these pregame tomorrow. @TheIXSports #WNBA

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

Alicia Flórez has had quite the month of May:

-Finished her Spanish league season
-Heard @WashMystics wanted to sign her
-Came to the U.S. for the first time ever
-Shone in #WNBA debut
-Became (maybe) @kikiiriafen’s fave teammate

Warming up on Hartford! The @LASparks take on the @ConnecticutSun at @Peoplesbnkarena Tip-off at 6pm

She's the Fever's energizer bunny. She pops up off the floor with a huge smile after taking charges. Caitlin Clark is getting stressed with how often she hits the floor.

How Lexie Hull, her own biggest critic, became the Fever's most important defender: https://t.co/AGZDNKynCx

Witnessing Nneka Ogwumike’s quiet greatness in real time is probably under appreciated.

Last night in a 92-87 win over the Mystics, Ogwumike added another jewel to her crown of accomplishments by becoming the franchise leader in FGs made.

I spoke with Nenka for @TheIXSports.

(2/3) Iriafen: "We kind of have whole team Breakfast Club now. But Jade and I did talk about that [on the Mystics' recent trip to Seattle], and we both miss each other." @TheIXSports #WNBA

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

(1/3) Last season, I wrote about the morning "Breakfast Club" workouts that Kiki Iriafen and Jade Melbourne were doing with assistant coach Barbara Turner.

On Friday, I asked Iriafen what's happened to Breakfast Club with Melbourne playing for Seattle now. ⬇️ @TheIXSports #WNBA

Fun news out of France: Landerneau announces the signing of @CULionsWBB alum @susannah_rafiu for the 2026-27 season.

@HarvardWBB alum @harmoniiturner played for Landerneau last season and has re-signed, so the former @IvyLeague rivals will soon be teammates. @TheIXSports

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

I asked Sydney Johnson postgame whether there had been discussions about this (or whether he thought those discussions needed to be had), and he said, “There’s no way I’m answering that question.” So unfortunately I don’t have any info for you there. @TheIXSports #WNBA

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

The Mystics drop a hard-fought game to the Sparks, 92-87. The teams combined for 100 paint points.

Shakira Austin had a season-high 25 pts (8-10 FG, 9-9 FT), 10 rebs and 3 assists in just 25 mins. Sonia Citron added 21p and 8a. @TheIXSports #WNBA

Developmental player Darianna Littlepage-Buggs is out again for the Mystics, but Alicia Flórez Getino is available for her second straight game.

Head coach Sydney Johnson said they're "very excited" about Buggs and she'll be active at some point. @TheIXSports #WNBA
