The Washington Mystics just completed a very complicated 2023 season that saw them swept in the first round of the playoffs by the New York Liberty. Given the amount of injuries that transpired during the season, it’s hard to qualify the end of the season as a complete disappointment, but I think there are some lessons from this season that the Mystics need to consider going forward if they want to move back into contention.
First, let me not sugar coat things, in my opinion, even if this team was fully healthy, they were not a contender this season.
