Pregame notes
The Washington Mystics are back for another Saturday game after being off for about a week. They’re in Chi-Town facing the Chicago Sky whom they haven’t played since the season opener on May 15. The Mystics are still dealing with some injuries but the hope is that this will dwindle down after the Olympic break. Natasha Cloud could play but be on limited minutes as she battles an ankle injury. As for the Chicago Sky, it seems as though they won’t have any major injuries and plan to face Washington as a healthy team.

On Thursday, the WNBA announced that Washington Mystics center Tina Charles was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for June. This is her 12th time winning this award.
In the month of June, Charles averaged 24.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Including all of her games played this season, Charles is currently the WNBA’s leading scorer by a considerable margin over Seattle Storm forward Breanna Stewart (25.5 ppg vs. 21.8 ppg, respectively).
Charles has received more honors in the past week, such as being named a member of the USA Basketball women’s national team (which automatically makes her a WNBA All-Star). And she is now in the conversation to win her second most valuable player award this season.
