Pregame notes
The Mystics will travel to Las Vegas to take on the Aces in the third contest of a four-game road trip. Washington started its 2025 campaign 2-0 before a fourth-quarter collapse against Golden State led to its first loss of the season.
Brittany Sykes has paced Washington’s offense, averaging 26.3 points and five assists per game. The 5-foot-9 guard dropped 30 points in the Mystics’ loss to Golden State on Wednesday. Washington will be without last year’s first-round pick, Aaliyah Edwards, as she rehabs a back injury.
After dropping their season opener to the defending champion New York Liberty, Las Vegas dominated the Connecticut Sun, 87-62, for its first victory of the 2025 season. Washington will have its hands full defending reigning MVP, A’ja Wilson, down low as the Mystics search for another road win.
