Washington Mystics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Washington Mystics is a Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) team based in Washington, D.C., U.S.A. They started play in 1998, the second year of the WNBA and are one of the WNBA’s first expansion franchises. Although the Mystics have had women’s basketball legends such as Nikki McCray and Chamique Holdsclaw on their roster in the past, the franchise has had mixed success.

The “Mystics” are the WNBA counterpart to the Washington Wizards, but as of 2005 the two franchises are owned by different companies. The Mystics are owned by Lincoln Holdings. Sheila C. Johnson, co-founder of BET and ex-wife of Charlotte Stingowner Robert L. Johnson is the managing partner.[1]
