Trying out this blue 🌌 thing … come follow me there too!

For Tuesday's game vs. Los Angeles, @WashMystics' injury report is clear except for Georgia Amoore (season-ending ACL injury). We'll also see how much the Mystics' All-Stars play after Sydney Johnson said he'd be "mindful" of their workloads after the break. @TheNextHoops #WNBA
If you've watched @WashMystics play this season and ever thought, "How are they doing this well this fast?" then I have the story for you @TheNextHoops. I combed through the data to identify some keys to their success so far. 📈⬇️ #WNBA thenexthoops.com/wnba/washingto…
Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen are making Mystics All-Star history tonight. They add to the Mystics' legacy; @jennhatfield1 and I try to put that in perspective. Join us in the latest episode of Media Timeout (recorded before Brittney Sykes was added). monumentalsportsnetwork.com/videos/sonia-c…
Sonia Citron is going to benefit from Sabrina Ionescu’s WNBA 3-Point Contest win
Vets Allisha Gray and Sabrina Ionescu make the final with 25 points each, but Citron had a more-than-respectable debut with 19. As Ryan Ruocco noted on the broadcast, in some years, Citron's total would be enough to make the final. This year, it got her last. @TheNextHoops #WNBA
.@WashMystics rookie Sonia Citron hit every three on the rack at the top of the key en route to 19 points in the first round of the #WNBA 3-Point Contest. She'll have to wait and see whether that's enough to get her to the final. @TheNextHoops

As @WashMystics rookies @CitronSonia & @kikiiriafen prepare for the festivities, @theTylerByrum is joined by @jennhatfield1 of @thenexthoops to reflect on a special 1st half by D.C.'s new young duo! 🔗: monsports.net/mediatimeout4
.@CoachCrouch knew @CitronSonia could be "really special" in their first workout. All the @WashMystics knew it in preseason, when it seemed like she never missed a shot. And the #WNBA has seen it all season. Read more @TheNextHoops on Citron's stardom: thenexthoops.com/wnba/washingto…
.@BrownU_WBB has hired Logan Hatch as its operations coordinator. He spent the past year and a half as the assistant director of operations at Columbia WBB and was part of two Ivy League titles and two NCAA Tournament berths. @TheNextHoops #NCAAWBB brownbears.com/news/2025/7/14…
.@HarvardWBB will travel west to play in @CalWBBall's Raising The B.A.R. Invitational on Nov. 15-16, per a Cal release. The other teams in the field are Oakland and UNC Charlotte. That gives junior guard Karlee White, a Burbank native, two games in her home state. @TheNextHoops

Postgame, Sydney Johnson said Shakira Austin didn't start the 3Q because she needed a bathroom break. He added, "Not only do we have the confidence, but we have the reps to play with different players and know that we can still be us...Super proud of Kira to reset." @TheNextHoops
That @PrincetonWBB to @HarvardWBB connection in the #WNBA 🔥

.@PrincetonWBB will host DePaul on Nov. 30 in a return game from last season, per a DePaul release. This is the third known power-conference opponent for the Tigers so far for 2025-26 (Georgia Tech and Maryland are the others). @TheNextHoops #NCAAWBB

.@smn2024 is a rookie no more — for @PennWBB or for Japan. She played 4 games for the Japanese national team this summer, scoring 12 points in her debut. For @TheNextHoops, I spoke with Miller and @MikeMcLaughli about her Penn career and Japan experience. thenexthoops.com/international/…
With Caitlin Clark’s next pick in the #WNBA All-Star draft, she takes the other Mystics rookie, Kiki Iriafen. That means Citron and Iriafen will get their wish to play together in the All-Star Game. @TheNextHoops
