The Washington Mystics have opened the 2025 WNBA season with a promising 2-0 record, signaling a potential resurgence under new head coach Sydney Johnson. After a 94-90 victory over the Atlanta Dream, the Mystics secured a 90-85 comeback win against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, overcoming an early 15-point deficit.
Veteran guard Brittney Sykes has been instrumental, averaging 24.5 points over the two games. However, it’s the rookies who are making headlines. Third overall pick Sonia Citron has delivered consistently, scoring 19 points in her debut and adding 15 in the second game, shooting an impressive 64.7 percent from the field.
