Washington Mystics

The Mystics’ biggest need was shooting. Yet, they used six 2026 draft picks on non-shooters. Why?

INDIANAPOLIS — Wednesday morning at the Indiana Fever media day, a reporter asked Aliyah Boston to share about her offseason. She did, succinctly and politely, while keeping a lid on the details. She volunteered how she had gone home and trained five times a week. She touched on her time playing for the Unrivaled league, smiled to herself while briefly reminiscing about a trip to Barbados, and hastened to her conclusion that her break was all a “grind.” Two questions later, someone else inquired

When Azzi Fudd was selected No. 1 in the WNBA Draft, the UConn guard made history. Fudd’s selection was the second time in WNBA history that the same program had produced the top pick in consecutive years, with the duo of Fudd and Paige Bueckers joining Tina Charles and Maya Moore from 2010-11, also from the Huskies. But this was the first time that the same WNBA team made back-to-back No. 1 picks from the same school, creating an unprecedented combination of talent and continuity for the Dallas

There was some uncertainty surrounding Lexie Hull’s future with the Indiana Fever during the offseason. After spending the first four years of her career with the Fever, Hull entered free agency. While she was a restricted free agent, the Fever still ran the risk of losing the 6-foot-1 guard if she received a viable offer from an opposing team.

The latest injury update for the Mystics' 2025 No. 6 overall draft pick Georgia Amoore will leave fans hyped.

Angel Reese will suit up for the Atlanta Dream in her third WNBA season. Reese was dealt by the Chicago Sky on April 6 in a trade that brought Chicago first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028. Reese was selected No. 7 overall in the first round of the 2024 WNBA Draft and has already made two All-Star appearances.

Atlanta Dream center Brionna Jones has had right knee surgery, leaving her status uncertain for the start of the WNBA season. Jones, a four-time All-Star, recently re-signed with Atlanta and was expected to join newly acquired forward Angel Reese to give the Dream an imposing front line. The Dream announced Monday that Jones had the surgery at Atlanta's Emory Hospital.

In a move that redefines what it means to be a ‘team player,’ Aliyah Boston signed the richest contract in WNBA history with the Indiana Fever, a four-year, $6. 3 million extension, only to immediately take a $190,000 pay cut.

For most professional basketball players, securing a major multiyear WNBA contract is the pinnacle of an offseason. For Gabby Williams, it was merely the opening act to yet another international accolade.

Last season, Kelsey Mitchell literally fell until her “wheels fell off”. In Game 5 of the semifinals against the Las Vegas Aces, Mitchell stopped the game because of intense cramping and was immediately stretchered out of there to the hospital.

Kelsey Mitchell is not going anywhere. After an offseason that was surrounded by some uncertainty, the three-time All-Star committed her future to the Indiana Fever by signing a new contract in WNBA free agency. Mitchell’s new deal came out to $1.4 million for one year.

The 2026 WNBA Draft was highly anticipated for the sheer amount of storylines it held. The league finally reached a CBA agreement after a nerve-wracking stall-out, and players were signed for dollar amounts previously only dreamed of.

CHICAGO — General manager Jeff Pagliocca isn’t leaving the Chicago Sky’s future success up to lottery luck. The Sky don’t own their first-round pick in the next two drafts thanks to separate deals with the Washington Mystics. Pagliocca included a pick swap in 2027 as part of last year’s trade for Ariel Atkins, a deal that also included sending the No. 3 pick in 2025 to the Mystics — and ...
