The Washington Mystics’ current three-game losing streak hasn’t been easy to watch, but it’s not without nuance. With a 2–3 record and several close calls, here’s a breakdown of three positives and three negatives that stand out from this recent stretch.
Three Good Things
- The rookies are the real deal — Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron are already making a case for extended minutes—and maybe even starting roles. Iriafen posted her fourth straight double-double in Phoenix, showing the physicality and rebounding presence the Mystics have lacked last season. If Iriafen keeps this up, Washington fans won’t be complaining about not having Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese last season.
