Washington Mystics history
The Mystics arrived before the 1998 season and play in the Eastern Conference. Ted Leonsis owns them through Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the same company behind the NBA's Washington Wizards, and Sheila C. Johnson is managing partner. Home is CareFirst Arena, located in Congress Heights, an intimate venue with 4,200 seats.
For a long time Washington was the one current franchise that had never played in the Finals. Semifinal losses came against New York in 2002 and the Minnesota Lynx in 2017. The drought ended in 2018 with a first Finals trip, and the next year the Mystics won it all. They have reached the playoffs in 13 of 23 seasons. Notable names include Elena Delle Donne, a two-time league MVP, along with Chamique Holdsclaw, Alana Beard and Crystal Langhorne.
