Poll: Where do the Mystics fit in Monumental Sports’ arena plans?
It looks like that the Wizards and Capitals could stay in Washington long term. But does that mean that it’s bad news for the Mystics?

WNBA Free Agency 2024: Mystics officially sign Stefanie Dolson
One of Washington’s first round picks in the 2014 WNBA Draft is back.
Caitlin Clark declares for the 2024 WNBA Draft
The Iowa guard will not be a Mystic, but the move will help Washington select a better player with the No. 6 overall selection.
How the Mystics can move forward without EDD & Cloud, explained
The Mystics are in uncertain territory without their franchise players, but have reasons for hope and draft picks going forward.

The survey is part of a capstone project by American University graduate student and former Swish Appeal site manager Zack Ward.
Why will Mystics fans miss Cloud?
The former Washington Mystics guard was simply the right guard for the franchise at the right time.
Cloud saved her best game with the Mystics for last
She scored 33 points in Game 2 of the Washington Mystics’ loss to the New York Liberty in the 2023 WNBA Playoffs.
2022 was when Cloud emerged as one of the WNBA’s best two-way guards
Though she was left out of the All-Star team, Cloud made up for it by being part of the WNBA’s best defensive backcourt and earning All-WNBA Defensive First Team honors.
How Cloud became a leading social advocate for D.C.
The former Washington Mystics guard cemented her place as a player during the 2018 season. But in 2019, she became a leader off the court as well.
Cloud took big steps in 2018 and never looked back
Early in Cloud’s career, it wasn’t clear if she could be a long-term WNBA veteran. But she made significant strides in 2018 to put any doubts to rest.
Where does Natasha Cloud rank in the Mystics’ record books?
The long-time WNBA guard is one of the most accomplished players in Mystics history.
Here’s how the Mystics got the pick they drafted Cloud with
The Mystics originally had the 20th overall pick in the second round of the 2015 WNBA Draft, but they used that and Quanitra Hollingsworth to get the No. 15 pick from the Seattle Storm. The Storm also received that pick in a previous trade.
Bueckers is staying for a 5th year at UConn, which could affect the Mystics for 2025
The college superstar will stay for a fifth year in Connecticut, which will make her a coveted pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. And the Mystics look like a lottery team this season. Interesting.
Mystics fans are unhappy with the offseason moves so far
Also, while most fans want the team to pursue Emma Meesseman in free agency, it takes two to tango. And most fans think EDD will be back in the W.
Report: Dolson to sign with the Mystics
The veteran center was one of the Mystics’ draft picks in 2014 and spent three years in D.C.
Poll: With EDD likely out, should the Mystics pursue Meesseman?
I never expected to write another article on Meesseman specifically since she formally left the team in 2022. But this last weekend has changed things somewhat.
