Wed Apr 30 16:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Mystics’ Rookie Point Guard Amoore Tears ACL, Sidelined Indefinitely

**WASHINGTON, D.C. –** The Washington Mystics have suffered a significant setback just days before the start of the WNBA preseason. Rookie point guard Georgia Amoore, selected sixth overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft, tore her right ACL during a Tuesday practice, the team announced Wednesday.

Amoore, a 24-year-old Australian who transferred to Kentucky for her final collegiate season, was expected to be a key contributor for the Mystics this year after averaging 19.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game for the Wildcats. The injury throws a wrench into the team’s plans, particularly considering the Mystics also drafted Sonia Citron (No. 3) and Kiki Iriafen (No. 4) in the first round. All three rookies were considered potential starters.

The team stated that Amoore will undergo further evaluation to determine the best treatment and rehabilitation plan, with a future update promised. ACL injuries typically require a recovery period of six to nine months. This is a major blow for both the player and the Mystics, who finished last season with a 14-26 record and are focused on rebuilding. General Manager Jamila Wideman had previously acknowledged the team wasn’t aiming for a championship this year but was excited about their development. Amoore’s absence significantly impacts the Mystics’ prospects for the upcoming season.
