Trying out this blue 🌌 thing … come follow me there too!

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

Great stuff here from @THCSports on how the @HarvardWBB staff selects game-day outfits. (Hint: Having an assistant coach be your “head of gear” is Step 1.) @samrudavsky

*Foot, sorry. Not ankle! Not sure where my brain got ankle.

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

Sonia Citron's ankle injury is something she's played through and could keep playing through, Mystics head coach Sydney Johnson said pregame. But the medical staff decided it would be smarter to hold her out, "maybe for a week," and then reevaluate. @TheIXSports #WNBA

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

*Four more had 8 points!

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

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

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

I heard the eruption from the crowd when Harmon came to the scorer's table before I saw Harmon on the move. She'll check in at the next dead ball, with just under 2 mins left. @TheIXSports #WNBA

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

With the Mystics up 19 points midway through the 4Q, the fans are loudly chanting Rori Harmon's name. She hasn't played yet tonight or in the past few games. @TheIXSports #WNBA

After 3Q, the Mystics have extended their lead over the Sky and are up 74-58. They've outrebounded the Sky 41-26 and only have 10 turnovers.

Kiki Iriafen leads all scorers with 15 points (4-8 FG) and 10 rebs. Michaela Onyenwere is a game-high +24 in 17 mins. @TheIXSports #WNBA

@PremiereIrish11 @TheIXSports I'm not sure, but maybe the blood had something to do with it.

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

At half, the Mystics lead the Sky 47-40. Both teams are shooting over 50% from the field, and they've combined for 50 paint points.

Shakira Austin leads the Mystics with 9 points and 4 rebs. Three other Mystics have 7 points apiece. @TheIXSports #WNBA

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

After 1Q, the Mystics lead the Sky 25-24 on a last-second layup by Cass Prosper. Both teams are shooting well - 63% for Chicago, 59% for the Mystics.

Prosper and Alicia Flórez lead the Mystics with 5 points each. Sydney Taylor has a game-high 8 for the Sky. @TheIXSports #WNBA

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

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

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

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

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

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

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]

@Angei0A @BackTAYreality @JL_On_Hoops @joshvaldez100 I'm not sure, but will get you an answer (or as much of one as Sydney Johnson will reveal) pregame tomorrow. She seemed fine during yesterday's practice, though she and some of the other starters were on the sidelines for the segment of practice media was allowed to see.

[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

(3/3) And here's that Breakfast Club story @TheIXSports:
https://t.co/hMjrqLhelJ

[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

[Jenn Hatfield (she/her) @jennhatfield1]

(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
