The Washington Mystics play the Minnesota Lynx on Friday. Here is the preview.
When: Friday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET
Where: Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
Injury report: For the Mystics, Georgia Amoore (knee) is out. Jacy Sheldon is questionable due to trade timing. Alysha Clark (day-to-day) is expected to join Washington on Friday after she was acquired earlier this week.
For the Lynx, Napheesa Collier (ankle) is out.
Well, for the second straight game, the Mystics will be in a state of flux due to the two major trades they made this week. Brittney Sykes and Aaliyah Edwards are gone. We’ll see how Alysha Clark and Jacy Sheldon do in their place.
The Lynx are the WNBA’s top team in the standings. Given that the Mystics have made a couple major trades, that will make things harder for Washington as they look to climb out of a three game losing streak. Unfortunately, I think the Mystics will continue to spiral.
