I\u2019m doing this a little early today because of the 2026 NBA Draft later tonight, so let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">When: Wednesday, June 24, 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\">How to Watch: Monumental Sports Network<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Mystics have won three games in a row, the last two against championship contenders. And their last win was on the road against the Lynx \u2014 the team with the best overall record right now. This is how the locker room reacted when Head Coach Sydney Johnson walked in. Kiki Iriafen even had to hold him up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Anyway, Iriafen has continued to play like an All-Star, especially now that the Mystics are 8-7 and will LOOK TO BUILD SOME MORE MOMENTUM IN THE PLAYOFF RACE! And duh, Sonia Citron is still playing like the boss she is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Tomorrow, the Lynx will look to return the favor. They will look to embarrass Washington on their home floor because \u2026 they should have beaten Washington on Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The first pick of the 2026 NBA Draft will almost definitely take a train or bus down from New York City to CareFirst Arena sometime Wednesday. This game will likely be the Wizards\u2019 newest franchise player\u2019s first major event \u2026 as a Wizard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Mystics play the Minnesota Lynx tomorrow evening.
