Washington Mystics Roster
The Mystics will be without their leading scorer in Elena Delle Donne, who's averaging 18.2 points per game this season. Donne is dealing with a left ankle sprain and is listed to miss at least two weeks.
Moreover, Natasha Cloud (right ankle sprain) is listed as probably to play against the Storm. Shakira Austin (left hip strain) and Kristi Toliver (right planter fasciitis) are both listed as out.
Seattle Storm Roster
The Storm might be getting their leading scorer Jewell Loyd (24.9 ppg) back into the roster.
According to Seattle Times' Kate Shefte, Loyd is still listed as probable for the game, with Storm coach Noelle Quinn being optimistic about her star guard returning.
Ahead of the match-up against the Washington Mystics, the Seattle Storm will look to snap a five-game losing streak. The Storm have lost their last five games (two games against the Minnesota Lynx, two against the New York Liberty and one against the Connecticut Sun).
The head-to-head meeting between the Mystics and the Storm is interesting, as both teams will be without their leading scorers (Elena Delle Donne and Jewell Loyd).
Meanwhile, the Washington Mystics have lost four of their last six games as they look to get back to winning consistently while their number one scorer continues to recover from her injury.
Myisha Hines-Allen talked about the team's mindset amidst the team's inconsistencies, especially without Elena Delle Donne.
"It doesn't matter who's playing," Hines-Allen said. "We're always going to step up. We're never going to give up. We're going to fight to the end. Of course, we do not want to see Elena go down. We need her on the court with us."
It's an important game for the two teams as both seek a victory coming off losses.
