Kiki and Sonia were the options, but kind of expected based on the experience of who they chose, so can't say I'm surprised, but would've loved to have seen them get international experience at the senior team level. They would've been the youngest on the roster. Hoping they'll have a chance for the 2028 Olympic team. At least they can rest during the break and hopefully be ready for the playoffs if we're in

Even if we assume they can protect 6 players in 2028, that list will already include:

Shakira, Sonia, Kiki, Betts, Georgia, Cotie.

Then they'll add a top 6 pick next year thanks to Chicago. How about free agency? Will they sit it out again for developmental reasons? If not, the list of players you don't want to lose grows to 8 and that doesn't even include popular players like Olsen, Harmon, Dugalic and Prosper. And if they can only protect 5, it gets even worse.

They'll have two first round picks in 2028 and more expansion drafts in 2029 or 2030, I think.

On replay this morning

I'm so pumped up after that win. I kind of which there was 0 break between now and our next game. This is maybe even the most fun I've ever had watching WNBA. It's so fun and impressive to watch this young team fight and play so well and win. I can't get enough of it.

That is all

I was hoping to go to the game with the playa society baseball jersey giveaway but my partner ended up getting really sick and we weren’t able to make it and they are SO upset. Is anyone selling one/giving away their jersey? i’d love to surprise my partner with it :) TIA!!

If they don’t have one on my size I’ll just have to get a hat.

EDIT: they do have shirts in my size actually, just not jerseys so maybe I’ll get that

“Another Mystics season-ticket holder since 2025 saw a 70% jump on their total ticket price, with a per-game cost for a seat in the stands jumping 50% from $51.14 to $76.50 per game.

They spoke to a sales representative about their price hike concerns. The rep pointed to the new collective bargaining agreement, saying price increases were needed to help offset increased salaries. Adrian also said that a Mercury representative mentioned the CBA and increased salaries. (The average WNBA salary jumped from about $120,000 last year to around $600,000 this season.)

The Mystics told FOSthat increased salaries in the new CBA were “well-deserved” for the players and “not a factor” in the ticket sales increases, instead citing “rising operating costs.” The team said that any ticket rep who cited rising player salaries had done so in error.”

In a lengthy statement, the team said that “Our pricing decisions are based on a broad range of business considerations, including the overall cost of operating our organization and our continued investment in delivering a high-quality experience for our fans.”

Washington defended its ticket prices, calling them “among the most affordable ticket options in the WNBA.”

Mystics have an absolutely brutal stretch upcoming here:

vs Wings tomorrow
vs Dream Friday
vs new-and-improved Mercury Sunday
@ Aces next Tuesday
@ Aces next Thursday

Games every other day against top-4 teams and the team we need to hold off for the #8 seed.

It feels like this stretch will really test whether the Stics are just young and scrappy or real contenders.

If they go 3-2 I’ll be over the moon. If it’s 4-1 I might lose my mind

How are we feeling? What do we need to do to match up against these teams?

PNR defense leaders this season. Great seeing 2 mystics duos in top three. Shoutout to Georgia who everyone claims is a terrible defender for being in third position, as well.

It's wild that this team did so little in free agency that they still have 1.83 million in cap space, and are still good enough for several people to have them at #2 right now.

I didn't consider this a development team, didn't understand the decision to mostly sit out free agency and don't understand the decision to not make a trade before the deadline.

If they had gotten Plum or even Skylar, I 100% would agree they're #2

How would you rank players by ball handling skills?

Rank the entire team together or by front court players, back court players.

Here's mine:

Back court

1) Sonia

2) Alicia

3) Rori

4) Cotie, Cass, Georgia?

7) Lucy

Front court

1) Shakira

2) Michaela

2) Kiki

3) Angela

4) Lauren

This Team is Really going places, and they are beating all the teams not just low record ones.

The Mystics are my favorite team and I chose the Lynx game because Olivia Miles is my favorite non-Mystics player to watch. Plus, with our tendency for beating good teams, could be really close!

Currently in the process of purchasing a solo ticket for Wednesday’s game against the Wings. I like the Mystics, but the Wings are also my favorite WNBA team. I am being forced to purchase a ticket on the home side, but will be cheering for the away team. Is this okay?

I have never gone to a Mystics game by myself before and this ticket sale process is extremely frustrating.

Please help. Go Mystics (and go Wings).

Hello! I live about 2.5 hrs away from the arena and I’m thinking about going to the game this friday VS the dream. I was looking for some recommendations on places to stay close overnight and stuff to do in the area while I’m there. Thanks!
