Game notes and more
- The Mystics have been hovering around .500 all season behind the newly-minted All-Star trio of Kiki Iriafen, Sonia Citron and Brittney Sykes. The Mercury, meanwhile, are making the most of their first season without arguably the greatest WNBA player of all time, Diana Taurasi — Phoenix is third in the league standings behind the newly-acquired Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally.
- The Mystics are neck-and-neck with the expansion Golden State Valkyries for the WNBA’s final playoff spot halfway through the season. Unfortunately for Golden State, first-time All-Star Kayla Thornton, who they plucked from the New York Liberty in the expansion draft, has been lost for the season due to a knee surgery.
