Mystics rookie Georgia Amoore to miss 2025 WNBA season after ACL surgery
Washington Mystics rookie guard Georgia Amoore underwent successful surgery to repair her right ACL, the team announced on Friday.
On April 30, the Mystics initially announced that Amoore tore her ACL during a team practice and they would "examine treatment and rehabilitation options and provide an update as appropriate." In their latest injury update, they confirmed that the 24-year-old will miss the 2025 WNBA season.

The Mystics drafted the Australian international with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. Amoore joined fellow rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Irafen, whom the Mystics selected third and fourth, respectively.
Amoore capped off her collegiate career at the University of Kentucky after four years at Virginia Tech.
In her time with the Hokies, she averaged 14.7 points per game, including 18.8 as a senior. Amoore also helped lead the team to a Final Four appearance before losing to LSU, 72-79, in 2023. She averaged a career-high 19.6 points and 6.9 assists in her only season in Kentucky before the Wildcats fell in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Before heading to the United States, Amoore played for the Ballarat Rush in Australia's NBL 1 South. She entered the 2025 WNBA Draft after making All-Conference first teams in her last three college seasons and being named the ACC Tournament MVP in 2023.
The Mystics will host the Atlanta Dream on Friday to open their 2025 season. The game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET from the CareFirst Arena in D.C.

ChatGPT AI-driven NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery
ChatGPT AI-driven NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery ChatGPT AI is predicting Jase Richardson to land just outside the lottery in the upcoming NBA Draft. USA TODAY Sports released their latest NBA Mock Draft driven by ChatGPT AI, and Richardson landed right about where most human draft experts are predicting. The computer model had Richardson going No. 17 overall to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Richardson starred for the Spartans during his lone season in college, playing a massive part in Michigan State winning the Big Ten and reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. Richardson averaged 12.1 points per game and shot above 40% from three-point range, which raised his draft stock to where it was a no-brainer to enter the NBA Draft and leave after just one year. Richardson has been commonly mocked to land anywhere from late lottery pick to late first round pick. Most of the recent mock drafts I've came across have him landing just outside the lottery like we saw here from USA TODAY Sports' ChatGPT AI mock draft. The NBA Draft will be held on July 25 and 26 in Brooklyn. The draft will be televised on ABC and ESPN.
