Mystics vs. Valkyries preview: Washington faces Golden State

The Washington Mystics will play the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday night. Here is the preview.

When: 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 13

Where: CareFirst Arena, Washington, D.C.

TV: Monumental Sports Network

For the Mystics, Georgia Amoore (knee) remains out for the season. Shakira Austin is listed as “Day-to-Day.”

For the Valkyries, Kayla Thornton (knee) remains out for the season.

The Mystics remain on the outside of the playoff tree after suffering a four-game slide before triumphing over the Dallas Wings, 91-78, last Sunday behind a standout performance from rookie guard Sonia Citron. Golden State travels to D.C. riding a two-game winning streak that’s put the Valkyries firmly in the playoff chase. The sides have faced off twice this season, with Golden State winning both contests by a combined three points, which means we could be in for another nail-biter on Wednesday.
