The Mystics have started to turn things around. And perhaps they aren’t done just yet.
The Washington Mystics play the Connecticut Sun Saturday afternoon. Here is the preview.
Game info
When: Saturday, August 31 at 3 pm ET
Where: Entertainment and Sports Arena, Washington
How to watch: Monumental/League Pass
Injuries
Washington — Shakira Austin (Questionable, Left Ankle)
Connecticut — Tiffany Mitchell (Questionable, illness)
What to watch for
The Mystics are back home after another cross country road trip where they have won three in a row, starting with a home win against the Los Angeles Sparks. They are just 2.5 games behind the Chicago Sky for the 8th and final seed of the 2024 WNBA Playoffs.
Washington has lost each of their three previous matches against the Sun, but two of those games were decided by single digits. Connecticut is also one of the top teams in the standings. If the Mystics can pull off the upset tomorrow, perhaps we will have to wonder whether they can overachieve in a possible playoff match against a team like the Sun. We will see what happens tomorrow.
