Impact Iriafen landed awkwardly on her right leg in the second quarter before exiting to the locker room, and she won't return during the second half. The second-year forward can be considered questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Tempo. With Iriafen unavailable for the remainder of Monday's contest, Cotie McMahon and Angela Dugalic are candidates to help pick up the slack.

Limps to locker room Iriafen went to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Fever due to an apparent right leg injury, Chloe Peterson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Iriafen is presumably headed for further testing to determine the extent of her injury. Look for Michaela Onyenwere, Angela Dugalic and Cotie McMahon to see more opportunities if Iriafen is unable to return Monday.

Washington hosts the Indiana Fever after Kiki Iriafen scored 24 points in the Washington Mystics' 109-77 loss to the Atlanta Dream

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Nets 24 points with two stocks Iriafen registered 24 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes during Saturday's 109-77 loss to the Dream.

Impact Iriafen was hot out of the gate, scoring nine points on six shots in her first seven minutes of play. She did a good job of attacking the rack and creating contact to get easy buckets at the charity stripe. While she was in a nice rhythm on offense, she struggled on the glass against Angel Reese and finished with a season-low three rebounds. Still, even with Saturday's rebounding dud, the sophomore forward ranks in the top-5 in rebounds per game (9.7) this season.

The second-year forward finished as Washington's second-leading scorer and paced the Mystics in rebounds, securing her fourth double-double through eight regular-season outings.

Iriafen is averaging 15.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 steals over 27.8 minutes per game this season.

She just missed her fourth straight double-double with a strong night on the glass, and she registered a steal for a third straight appearance. Iriafen is averaging 16.5 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists through her first four games of 2026.

Career-high 25 points in victory Iriafen notched 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 104-102 overtime win over the Fever.

Impact Iriafen turned in an extremely efficient performance and put up a team-high 17 field-goal attempts en route to a career-best 25 points. She also led all players in rebounds, securing her third straight double-double to begin the regular season. The 23-year-old forward has now scored 20-plus points in back-to-back outings and should continue to play a sizable role on the offensive end for Washington.

Impact Iriafen paced the Mystics in both points and rebounds, and she has registered double-doubles in each of her first two games this season, pulling down 14.0 rpg. She has been very effective from the field, too, hitting 53.8 percent or better. After averaging just 8.5 rpg in her rookie season, she appears to be ready to take a huge step forward in Year No. 2.

She also contributed offensively to finish as the Mystics' third-leading scorer behind Sonia Citron (26 points) and Shakira Austin (18 points).

Scores in double figures Iriafen logged 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 16 minutes during Sunday's 83-72 preseason win over the Dream.

Impact Iriafen missed Washington's preseason opener against the Lynx on April 25 due to a leg injury, but she was productive in her return to action Sunday, as she was one of two players to post double-digit points for the Mystics while also leading the team in blocks. The Mystics drafted Lauren Betts, Angela Dugalic and Cotie McMahon in the first round of this year's draft while also signing Michaela Onyenwere (leg), but Iriafen should have plenty of opportunities to maintain a prominent role during her second professional season.
