On Wednesday evening, the Washington Mystics announced that Elena Delle Donne has a small herniated disc in her back after an MRI was performed in the morning. Delle Donne had back spasms in the first quarter of the Mystics’ 99-87 loss to the Connecticut Sun in Game 2 of the 2019 WNBA Finals.
This isn’t good news for the Mystics, who are 1-1 in their series against the Sun. It certainly gives Connecticut more momentum with Game 3 on Sunday afternoon in Uncasville, Conn.
But the Mystics are far from finished. They are the deepest team in the WNBA for a reason.
