The Washington Mystics played the Phoenix Mercury today at home and lost to them, 96-87, before heading off for the Olympic Break. This game was important for Washington for another reason: it’s the only time where they will be hosting Phoenix, the team Natasha Cloud now plays for.
During a TV timeout, the team played a welcome back video for Cloud, which included content dating back to 2015, when she was drafted. You can see the video below.

.@T_Cloud4 got a welcome back video at the first media timeout. As she emerged from the huddle, she hugged @KristiToliver, ran on the court and waved to the @WashMystics crowd. @TheNextHoops #WNBA pic.twitter.com/gr7LgIrFK0
