The Washington Mystics were not expected to make much news when free agency officially begins Monday, but the negotiation period has proved otherwise.
The Mystics have reached an agreement with forward Alysha Clark, who won a pair of WNBA championships with the Seattle Storm, according to a person with knowledge of the move. As Clark arrives, fan favorite Aerial Powers plans to part ways with the organization. Powers, a key member of the 2019 championship team, tweeted that she has agreed to a deal with the Minnesota Lynx after not signing an offer from the Mystics.
