Yes, they are playing the Liberty for the second time in less than a week. Let\u2019s get to the preview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">When: Friday, June 19, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Where: Barclays Center, New York City<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Injuries: For the Mystics, Dariana Littlepage-Buggs, Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen are day-to-day. For the Liberty Marine Farthoux and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton are day-to-day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Mystics beat the Connecticut Sun yesterday without their starting posts. Tomorrow night, any mistakes they made yesterday will get exploited. Washington will plays the Liberty for the third time this season and the second time in less than a week. And yes, the Mystics are back in New York City to play the Liberty where the city as a whole (though Brooklyn, the borough where the Libs play may be a little less enthusiastic) is still in euphoria over the New York Knicks\u2019 NBA championship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Hopefully Washington will make tomorrow a more interesting game than last Sunday. Otherwise, this game will be yet another uphill battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Mystics play the New York Liberty tomorrow evening on Juneteenth.
