The Washington Mystics are set to face the Indiana Fever for the second time this WNBA regular season on Tuesday. In their first meeting, the Mystics secured a 83-77 victory, with Fever star point guard Caitlin Clark sidelined due to a quad injury. Clark remains out for Tuesday’s game, giving the Mystics another strong opportunity to notch a win over their conference rivals.
Adding to the Fever’s challenges, guard Sophie Cunningham has also been ruled out, leaving Indiana without two of their top backcourt players and most reliable 3-point shooters.
On the other hand, the Mystics will enter the matchup with a near-complete roster, with the only absence being rookie Georgia Amoore, who has yet to make her debut this season due to an ACL injury.
However, there’s a positive sign for the No. 6 overall pick, as she was spotted doing light individual work with a trainer ahead of the game. The franchise and its fans are hopeful her recovery continues without any setbacks.
Rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen will once again be in the spotlight, having delivered impressive performances in the first matchup against Indiana.
Citron posted 13 points and seven rebounds, while Iriafen added 16 points and eight boards, both playing crucial roles in the team’s win. As the Mystics aim to build on that success, all eyes will be on the dynamic rookie duo to step up once more.
