Pregame notes

The Washington Mystics return home after splitting a brief two-game road trip, which included a 79-72 win over the Chicago Sky followed by a narrow 92-91 loss to the Atlanta Dream. The Mystics enter Sunday’s matinee at 5-8, which ranks ninth in the WNBA standings.

After a 1-12 start to the 2025 campaign, Dallas has picked up some momentum, winning its last two contests against Golden State and Connecticut. Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, has excelled to begin her career. The UConn product is averaging 18.0 points per game, which ranks 11th in the WNBA, as well as 5.8 assists per contest, which ranks fifth.

Washington has its own scorer in Brittany Sykes, whose 20.6 points per game ranks fifth in the league. Sykes and the Mystics will look to use the home crowd to get back on track against Dallas on Sunday.

With 6-foot-8 Teiera McCowan listed as out, Washington could domiante the paint. Second-year forward Shakira Austin is coming off her best game of the season — a 28-point, 10 rebound showing in Atlanta. Look for Austin, Aaliyah Edwards and Kiki Iriafen to command the paint against the Wings on Sunday.
