Surprisingly, Washington cruised to victory over the Liberty during the season opener Friday. Elena Delle Donne and Natasha Cloud were the only Mystics to play over 30 minutes, while the other starters (Shakira Austin, Brittney Sykes and Ariel Atkins) saw between 25-29 minutes. Tianna Hawkins, Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Kristi Toliver all saw double-digit minutes off the bench, as Washington essentially ran with an eight-person rotation. Delle Donne, Atkins, Cloud and Toliver were the only players to score in double figures during the low-scoring opener.
Despite a poor fourth quarter, the Sun took care of Indiana in the season opener Friday. Alyssa Thomas, DeWanna Bonner and Natisha Hiedeman were the only players to play over 30 minutes, while the other starters (Brionna Jones and Tiffany Hayes) saw between 23-26 minutes. Tyasha Harris (17 minutes), Olivia Nelson-Ododa (14) and Rebecca Allen (11) rounded out Connecticut’s eight-person rotation. Thomas, Bonner and Jones were the only Sun players to score in double figures and were also the team’s leading rebounders.

NaLyssa Smith, Victoria Vivians and Maya Caldwell all saw 20-plus minutes of action, while Queen Egbo (15 minutes) and Kristy Wallace (11) rounded out the eight-person rotation.
The new-look Liberty fell flat in the season opener versus Washington on Friday. Sabrina Ionescu was sharp, posting 18 points and eight rebounds, but newcomers Jonquel Jones (five points in 19 minutes), Courtney Vandersloot (eight points in 27 minutes) and Breanna Stewart (12 points in 34 minutes) all had underwhelming debuts for New York. Betnijah Laney completed the starting five and was one of just three Liberty players to score in double figures. Epiphanny Prince, Stefanie Dolson and Kayla Thornton saw double-digit minutes off the bench…
