Most of the Mystics’ players are stateside this offseason. Whether it’s because of rehab (Tayler Hill) or because it’s a ritual (Elena Delle Donne), there seem to be more players than normal not playing overseas in Europe, Australia, or Asia.
Two Mystic players: Natasha Cloud and Tierra Ruffin-Pratt are stateside, but they aren’t just doing drills. They also played an exhibition game last Saturday for the Washington Fusion of the Global Mixed Gender Basketball League (GMGB) at Howard University. They played the Chicago Vikings and won 118-91.
The GMGB hopes to kickoff officially this summer or fall with eight teams, according to The Washington Informer.
