Players to Watch: Washington Mystics vs. Connecticut Sun
Washington Mystics
Sonia Citron — G. Citron leads the Mystics in scoring at 16.6 points per game while connecting on 48.3 percent of her shots, a combination that makes her the team’s most reliable shot creator. Her 85.1 percent mark from the free-throw line is the kind of dependability that closes out tight games, turning late fouls into points rather than missed chances.
Georgia Amoore — G. Running the point for Washington, Amoore distributes 3.7 assists across 23.3 minutes per game and shoulders a steady share of the ballhandling load. She keeps the turnovers in check at 1.9 per game, a number that matters for a backcourt that leans on her to set the tempo.
Shakira Austin — C. Austin patrols the glass for the Mystics at 8.3 rebounds per game, and the bulk of that work comes on the defensive end with 6.8 boards there. She adds 1.6 on the offensive side to help Washington generate extra possessions, though her status is worth tracking with a day-to-day knee designation.
Connecticut Sun
Brittney Griner — C. Griner gives the Sun their most efficient interior scorer at 12.4 points per game on 53.0 percent shooting, converting the looks her size creates near the rim. She backs that up with 70.8 percent accuracy from the line, keeping her a threat to score whether the offense runs through the post or the foul line.
Leila Lacan — G. Lacan sets the table for Connecticut with a team-high 5.2 assists per game while logging a heavy 28.3 minutes a night. Her 2.0 turnovers stay manageable for a guard handling that much of the offense, a balance the Sun need from their primary distributor.
Aneesah Morrow — F. Morrow owns the boards in this matchup at 10.5 rebounds per game, more than any other player on the floor. She splits that production with 7.5 defensive rebounds and a strong 3.0 on the offensive glass, giving Connecticut second chances that a struggling offense badly needs.
