Goes to Fire in second round The Fire selected Sutton in the second round of the WNBA Expansion Draft on Friday, per Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports.

Impact Sutton was a full-time starter for the Mystics last year, closing with averages of 7.4 points, 3.9 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 26.1 minutes per tilt through 43 regular-season games. Given that she was chosen in the second round, however, it remains to be seen if the Fire plan for her to maintain her starting role in 2026. For now, the expectation is that Sutton will be competing with Haley Jones and Sarah Ashlee Barker for a reserve role in the backcourt.

Manages five points in finale Sutton posted five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes in Tuesday's 75-66 loss to the Mystics.

Impact Sutton ended up starting 43 of her team's 44 games, missing one game back in early July due to a lower-leg injury. Sutton had started just 12 games across her first three WNBA seasons, so this was a banner year in that respect. Sutton also posted career bests in field-goal percentage (42.5 percent) and three-pointer percentage (35.3 percent). She'll be 27 years old in December, and she still has plenty of upside going forward.
