The Washington Mystics announced Thursday that they have signed Stella Johnson. The WNBA issued the Mystics an emergency hardship after Aerial Powers suffered a hamstring injury on Aug. 7 against the Liberty.
Johnson was selected by 29th overall by the Phoenix Mercury in the 2020 WNBA Draft and then was signed by the Chicago Sky in June. After playing in four games, the guard was waived. Now, she has an opportunity to help the Mystics, who are struggling. The team has lost their last five game and are currently 3-5 for the season.
