GAME LOG
Very efficient in Twin Cities Edwards registered 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 FT) and six rebounds over 18 minutes during Thursday's 92-75 loss to the Lynx.
Impact Edwards did a great job, misfiring just once from the field. Her point total was a season best, and she had her most points since going for 16 against the Sky on June 14, 2024. Edwards is averaging 8.0 points and 4.5 rebounds across the past four apperances.

Linked to move elsewhere The Mystics are engaged in trade conversations to find second-year forward Aaliyah Edwards a new home, Kendra Andrews and Alexa Philippou of ESPN report.
Impact Andrews and Philippou report that "multiple teams have reached out to the Mystics" and that Washington is taking their calls. After playing a significant role in 2024, Edwards' role has diminished in 2025 -- she holds averages of 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in just 13.1 minutes per contest. The trade deadline isn't until Aug. 7, so there's plenty of time for the Mystics to find Edwards a new home.
JULY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient in victory Edwards posted seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 68-64 win over the Lynx.
Impact Edwards made the best of her 11 minutes on the floor Tuesday, as she shot 50 percent from the floor. She's now grabbed five or more rebounds in four games this season. The 23-year-old is averaging 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, shooting 39.6 percent from the field.
JUNE 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Muted role off bench Edwards closed with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 91-88 win over Dallas.
Impact It was the first time this season Edwards was held scoreless, although she hasn't played a particularly prominent role for Washington in 2025. She's come off the bench in each of her 10 appearances so far this year, with Edwards having hit double digits in scoring just one time. As long as Kiki Iriafen is healthy, Edwards could have a hard time finding consistent production from the second unit.
JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Inefficient in loss Edwards closed with five points (1-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 89-56 loss to the Dream.
Impact Edwards continues to have her struggles with the Mystics. Through seven appearances, she's shooting 36.1 percent from the field with 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game.
JUNE 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Pinpoint off bench in victory Edwards accumulated 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 104-67 win over the Sun.
Impact Edwards was sharp from the field, missing just three times in her eight attempts in 20 minutes off the bench, posting a season high in points, and her seven rebounds tied a season best. She is still averaging just 5.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, which is a far cry from last season's 7.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Her minutes are also down, and she has yet to start, which is contributing to the downturn.

Brittney Sykes scores 28 points, Mystics dominate inside to roll past Sun 104-67

Brittney Sykes scored 28 points, making 14 of 15 free throws, and the Washington Mystics cruised to a 104-67 win over the Connecticut Sun

Continues to play off bench Edwards ended with two points (1-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Friday's 85-63 loss to the Liberty.
Impact Since missing the first four games of the season, Edwards has appeared in three straight. However, she's played 20 or fewer minutes off the bench in each contest, averaging 4.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists. Shakira Austin also appears to be on a minute restriction, playing 15 and 13 minutes off the bench in two appearances since returning from a two-game absence. Rookie Kiki Iriafen continues to start and is riding a seven-game double-digit scoring streak.
JUNE 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Plays well in debut Edwards ended Sunday's 68-62 loss to the Mercury with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes.
Impact Edwards shook off a probable tag heading into Sunday's contest and ended up putting together a solid line in her season debut -- she was previously battling a back injury. Going forward, Edwards figures to play a key role for the second unit in Washington.

Set for season debut Edwards (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Mercury, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Edwards was listed as probable heading into Sunday's contest and is now officially available to make her season debut after going through warmups. She's expected to be a top contributor off the bench, though her minutes may be monitored as she works back from injury.
MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Warmups to determine status Edwards (back) will go through warmups before a decision is made on her availability for Sunday's game against the Mercury, Aya Abdeen of The Next Hoops reports.
Impact Edwards was upgraded to probable Saturday following what's been described as an expedited recovery from a lower back contusion. She has yet to play this season after appearing in 34 games as a rookie in 2024.
MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Probable for Sunday Edwards (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Mercury, Jenn Hatfield of The Next reports.
Impact While Edwards was expected to be re-evaluated in two weeks just before the start of the regular season, she's now probable for this contest, so she seems to have recovered quicker than initially predicted. While back problems can be complicated, the probable tag suggests Edwards could have a shot at playing Sunday, even if that means seeing minutes off the bench.

Re-evaluated in two weeks Edwards (back) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the Mystics announced Friday.
Impact Edwards, who is rehabbing from a low back contusion, has been cleared to resume on-court activities. Based on her re-evaluation date, a return against the Fever on June 3 could potentially be on the table. In Edwards' absence, there could be more opportunities for Emily Engstler and Kiki Iriafen.
MAY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play in regular-season opener Edwards (back) has been ruled out for Friday's regular-season opener against the Dream.
Impact Edwards has been dealing with a low back contusion over the past few weeks, and she'll be forced to miss at least one game to begin the regular season. It's not yet clear when she'll be able to return, but it seems likely that she'll take on a starting role for the Mystics once she's healthy. She made 34 regular-season appearances (17 starts) as a rookie in 2024, averaging 7.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game. Kiki Iriafen and Emily Engstler will likely see increased roles Friday since Edwards and Shakira Austin (leg) will both be sidelined.
