Lucy Olsen - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Bright spot off bench Olsen finished with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and two assists in 10 minutes during Monday's 92-69 loss to the Wings.

Impact The Mystics were blown out of this contest, but Olsen was a bright spot for the team. Through the opening three games, Olsen has been used sparingly with 8.3 minutes per contest, but she's shooting 62.5 percent from the field.

Muted role in early going Olsen posted five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one assist across five minutes during Sunday's 98-93 loss to the Liberty.

Impact The second-year guard has struggled for playing time in the early going, totaling 15 minutes through her first two appearances. Rookie guards Cassandre Prosper, Rori Harmon and Alex Wilson each appear to have a leg up on Olsen for reps, which could make it difficult for Olsen to muster fantasy relevance.

Efficient off bench Olsen posted nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 83-72 preseason win over Atlanta.

Impact Olsen was efficient off the bench during Sunday's matchup, leading the Mystics' reserves in scoring while also contributing in several other categories. The 22-year-old was selected by Washington in the second round of last year's draft and averaged 4.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 12.4 minutes per game across 41 appearances during her rookie season. Georgia Amoore will be back in action this year after missing all of last season due to a knee injury, while the Mystics also have several other young contributors, so Olsen may not have enough opportunities to carve out consistent fantasy production in 2026.

Scores six points in loss Olsen chipped in six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 75-66 loss to the Liberty.

Impact A rookie second-round pick, Olsen wasn't able to carve out a significant role for the Mystics. Across 41 appearances, she averaged 4.0 points, 1.2 assists, 1.2 rebounds and 0.4 steals while shooting 41.5 percent from the field and 27.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Scores nine points off bench Olsen provided nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 17 minutes during Thursday's 89-63 loss to New York.

Impact Olsen was one of the few players who had a decent scoring output outside of the rookie duo of Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen, who combined for 34 of the team's 63 points. Olsen hasn't logged more than 20 minutes off the bench since Aug. 8, however, so it's hard to trust her on fantasy with that limited playing time.

Plays 13 minutes in loss Olsen chipped in four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one rebound in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 88-83 loss to Golden State.

Impact Olsen hasn't been utilized much by the Mystics lately, seeing a combined 22 minutes in her last two appearances. She's safe to ignore in most fantasy formats for the time being.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in nine minutes Olsen supplied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block over nine minutes during Sunday's 91-78 win over the Wings.

Impact Olsen continues to be used sparingly by the Mystics, although she did see at least 20 minutes in her previous two games. Until her situation improves, Olsen will be miles from fantasy relevance.

Notches seven points Olsen provided seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 78-64 loss to Chicago.

Impact Olsen eclipsed 20 minutes for the first time since June 28 in Tuesday's loss. Alysha Clark wasn't yet available to debut after being traded for Brittney Sykes, so fantasy managers will need to take Olsen's workload with a grain of salt.

AUGUST 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fares well in limited minutes Olsen supplied six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 103-86 win over the Sky.

Impact Olsen made the most of her limited minutes Tuesday, and more could be on the way -- Sug Sutton suffered a leg injury Tuesday and was unable to return. Olsen has been pretty quiet for the most part this season, averaging 3.6 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10.7 minutes per game.

Quiet with three points Olsen contributed three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two assists in 17 minutes during Sunday's 88-72 loss to the Mercury.

Impact Olsen saw double-digit minutes for the third time out of her last four appearances. She has a total of 12 points in that span, however, and her usage rate is quite low. She's only on the radar in deeper formats.

JULY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to six minutes Olsen logged two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound in six minutes during Tuesday's 93-86 loss to the Sparks.

Impact Due to a very small workload, Olsen remains miles off the fantasy radar. Across 20 appearances, she has played 10.3 minutes per night with averages of 3.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 44.8 percent shooting from the field.

JULY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 13 minutes Olsen chipped in five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 99-80 loss to Los Angeles.

Impact Olsen, who usually plays a minimal role for Washington, picked up a few garbage-time minutes in the loss. The guard has appeared in 19 games this season with averages of 3.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 10.5 minutes per contest.

JULY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees six minutes Olsen finished with two points (1-1 FG) over six minutes during Tuesday's 81-79 win over the Sky.

Impact Olsen's minutes took a major hit Tuesday with Sug Sutton back in action. The guard is averaging a mere 10.8 minutes across 17 appearances this season.

JULY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Takes advantage of extra run Olsen logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and three assists over 17 minutes during Thursday's 92-75 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Olsen was getting some extra run with Sug Sutton (leg) sidelined due to injury. Jade Melbourne made the start in place of Sutton, but Olsen was far more productive. The 19 points were easily a career best, topping the 14 points she posted against the Aces on June 26.

Takes advantage of more minutes Olsen contributed 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 94-83 victory over the Aces.

Impact Olsen started the second half after Jade Melbourne (mouth) exited early in the first quarter. Olsen made the most of her opportunity by scorching the nets from downtown, setting career highs in both points and made threes. It's been a slow start to the 2025 campaign for the No. 23 overall pick out of Iowa, but this might be the spark she needs to help find her footing in the WNBA.

Sees just six minutes Olsen registered two points (1-3 FG) and one rebound across six minutes during Tuesday's 68-64 victory over the Lynx.

Impact Olsen, who made her 13th appearances of the season Tuesday, continues to be utilized as an emergency depth option for the Mystics. In 7.7 minutes per contest, she's averaging 2.3 points and 0.9 rebounds on 40.7 percent shooting from the field.

JUNE 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees four minutes in win Olsen accumulated no counting stats over four minutes during Tuesday's 79-72 win over the Sky.

Impact Olsen remains well off the fantasy radar as an emergency depth option for the Mystics. Olsen has made 11 appearances for an average of 8.5 minutes per contest with 2.5 points and 1.0 rebounds.

JUNE 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes most of limited minutes Olsen provided five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and three assists across 11 minutes during Sunday's 104-67 win over Connecticut.

Impact Olsen was limited to just 11 minutes off the bench in the rout of the Sun, but she made the most of her time. She hit her only three-pointer attempt, while also converting each of her free-throw tries. Her three assists also marked a season best, and the 11 minutes were just her second time in the past five appearance going for 10 or more minutes played.
