Playing for Allianz Geas Sesto San Giovanni, Mystic Madison Scott is flourishing in Serie A1.

Through two games in the Italian League, she's leading the team with 22.0 ppg (54.5% FG). That includes a 28-point outing against Roseto earlier this week.

TIL Andrew Garfield was older than Tobey Maguire when they each filmed their first Spiderman movies.

And boy, does that have my mind thinking all sorts of things...

After a record-breaking 2025, Sonia Citron sets her sights on more Sonia Citron's list of accomplishments in 2025 would rival a bucket list for most of her WNBA contemporaries. Already, she's focused on growing her game further for next season.

If the WNBA is a stepping stone for aspiring NBA officials, we have a problem.

The WNBA wants to bill itself as the best women's basketball league in the world. It should also want the best officials in the world.

Then again, WNBA officials are not full-time employees like the NBA...

A new 2026 NBA Draft big board with the season tipping off in less than a month. A couple of new adjustments with players now on campus and practices fully underway.

A.J. Dybantsa (BYU) is still my No. 1 prospect and Jayden Quaintance (Kentucky) passes Boogie Fland (Florida) as my top returner.

"They might not need a plane to get back to the Strip tonight!" what does that mean, Ryan?

Jacy Sheldon felt she made an impression in just two games A right ankle sprain limited trade acquisition Jacy Sheldon to just two games with the Mystics in the 2025 season. She believes that was enough to prove herself to the team's leadership.

Jacy Sheldon played less than 32 minutes in a Mystics jersey this season.

Was that enough time for Sheldon to prove she can be a part of what Jamila Wideman is building in D.C.?

Mystics players eye next step, but GM Jamila Wideman sees work to do Fans, players and media always want to know how soon their team can compete for a title. The 2025 Mystics look to take the next step while general manager Jamila Wideman takes a measured approach.

Cam Schlittler

Never heard of this Cam Schlittler kid before, but holy cow what a night.

A'ja had to go for the dang steal because Chelsea and Jackie weren't passing her the ball in final two minutes.

If anyone in the women's basketball world has unpleasant news to announce and avoid bad press, now is the time to drop it.

Do it. Hit send.

Seriously, right now.

EDD says she’s not sure if Cathy knows she retired.

Elena Delle Donne weighs in with back-up for Phee’s statement 💀

And I don't know what to call this one (neither did Kira)

I present a thread of my favorite Shakira Austin gifs from the 2025 Mystics season

Mystics' Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen named to WNBA All-Rookie Team.

Joining them are Paige Bueckers, Domique Malonga and Janelle Salaun.

Nai is frying me with that Gatorade hand towel 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In an unexpected move, Sug Sutton becomes one of the 48 players joining Unrivaled this season.

Huge opportunity for the Mystics starting PG from this past season.

Mystics consider Shakira Austin part of franchise’s future Shakira Austin enters the offseason as a restricted free agent. Washington has already shown a desire to keep her for the future.

Shakira Austin enters the WNBA offseason as a restricted free agent.

GM Jamila Wideman has already labeled her "part of that young core" they're building around. And if signed, it begins to narrow the direction of the franchise.

Morgan is undeniable as we get to BB27's final four

Big Brother spoilers ahead...

Morgan is undeniable. It's over at this point. She's running this season and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Separating her game legacy from actions inside the house will be the biggest challenge.

College Basketball History

Bruce Pearl retires after lifting the Auburn Tigers to the 79th-most successful program in DI.

Before Pearl, Auburn had never made a Final Four, and just made 4 Sweet 16s, 8 NCAATs and 4 SEC titles.

Overseas ball definitely is a different beast lol.

Glad that Unrivaled and AU are becoming the standard now. Much easier to follow (although I will miss my lunch-time EuroBasket watches).

Where the Mystics are playing during the 2025-26 offseason International basketball is no longer the only option for WNBA players looking to make a paycheck in the offseason. Several Washington Mystics are staying stateside and playing in American leagues.

As Unrivaled player announcements are to come today, here's where each of the 2025 Mystics plan on playing this offseason.
