Lifted from injury report Iriafen (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Liberty.

Impact Iriafen has missed her team's last three matchups while tending to an ankle injury, but she'll be ready to return Friday. She's been a key cog for the Mystics so far this season, averaging 14.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 10 games.

Won't play Wednesday Iriafen (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Connecticut.

Impact This will be Iriafen's third straight game on the inactive list, and for now, she should be considered questionable for Friday's game in New York. Michaela Onyenwere, Angela Dugalic and Cotie McMahon will all help pick up the slack in Iriafen's absence.

Iffy for Wednesday Iriafen (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sun.

Impact Iriafen is trying to end a two-game absence with a right ankle sprain Wednesday. Fewer minutes would be open to the likes of Michaela Onyenwere, Angela Dugalic and Cotie McMahon in the frontcourt if Iriafen is able to suit up.

JUNE 16 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Iriafen (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Liberty.

Impact Iriafen will miss a second straight game after suffering a right ankle sprain in the second quarter of Monday's loss to the Fever. Angela Dugalic got the start in her place Friday and figures to remain in the starting lineup until Iriafen returns to health. The forward's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Sun.

Considered day-to-day Iriafen (ankle), who has already been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against Toronto, is considered day-to-day, Jenn Hatfield of The Next reports.

Impact Iriafen suffered a sprained ankle in Monday's 98-76 loss to Indiana and will miss her first career WNBA game Friday. She is considered day-to-day, so it appears she could be back on the floor when the Mystics face the Liberty Sunday. While Iriafen is out of commission, Cotie McMahon and Angela Dugalic are the favorites to see more action, with one of them expected to enter the starting lineup against the Tempo.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Iriafen (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against Toronto, Tyler Byrum of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Iriafen tweaked her right ankle in Monday's 78-76 loss to Indiana, ending her night after only eight minutes of work. The second-year forward will now miss the first game of her young career, meaning Cotie McMahon or Angela Dugalic could be in line to replace Iriafen in the starting lineup.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Iriafen (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Tempo.

Impact After sustaining a sprained right ankle in Monday's game against the Fever, Iriafen may need some more time to recover. Cotie McMahon and Angela Dugalic stand out as the most likely choices to be more involved in the frontcourt if Iriafen is unable to play.

Won't return Monday Iriafen won't return to Monday's game against the Fever due to a right ankle sprain, Kareem Copeland of ESPN reports. She'll finish with two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one a...

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.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

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 Indiana after Iriafen's 24-point outing

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

JUNE 7 • 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.

Impact With Sonia Citron (foot) sidelined for the first time this season, Iriafen saw a slight uptick in opportunity on the offensive end.
