Aaliyah Edwards gearing up for 2025 WNBA season after praising team's resilience through rookie year

After a tough start to her rookie year with the Washington Mystics that saw the team lose 12 straight games to start the season, the team turned things around late in the season.

While they narrowly missed the 2024 playoffs, the team went from a 0-12 record to start the season to a 14-26 record to end the year, missing the playoffs by just one game.

At the end of the season in September, Edwards spoke about how she was proud of the team's resilience despite their rough start to the year.

“I'm just super proud to be part of this core team, even though we were young, even though a lot of people doubted us," Edwards said (h/t CT Insider). I think that we stayed true to our values, stay true to uplifting and keeping each one of us accountable. I really have no complaints.”

With the 2025 WNBA season right around the corner, Edwards and the Mystics will look to build on the second half of their 2024 campaign.

Their 2025 season will tip off on May 16, when they host the Atlanta Dream in their regular season opener after a two-game preseason slate.
