Game Notes
The Mystics, under new head coach Sydney Johnson, are emphasizing a fast-paced offense, which contrasts from the last few years. With key players like Amoore and Edwards sidelined, rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen are expected to have increased roles, providing them an opportunity to showcase their skills and adapt to the professional level.
The Dream, led by new head coach Karl Smesko, have bolstered their roster with veteran additions such as Brittney Griner, Brionna Jones, and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough. These players join existing talents Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, creating a blend of experience and youth. This preseason game serves as a platform to build chemistry among the new and returning players, setting the tone for a season with high expectations.
Washington would presumably be the underdogs in this match, so let’s just see how the remaining training camp players perform before final cuts have to be made.
