The Washington Mystics started the 2025 WNBA season by parting ways with their long-time general manager, Mike Thibault, and head coach Eric Thibault. They hired Jamila Wideman as the new GM and Sydney Johnson as the new head coach, according to the official website of the Washington Mystics.
One of their earliest major trades was sending two-time All-Star Ariel Atkins to the Chicago Sky. They got the No. 3 overall draft pick in return. This put the Mystics with three of the top six draft picks. With those picks, they selected Sonia Citron at No. 3, Kiki Iriafen at No. 4, and Georgia Amoore at No. 6, as per the official website of Washington Mystics.
