WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Washington Mystics announced that guard Georgia Amoore suffered a right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during a practice session on Tuesday. The team stated that they will explore treatment and rehabilitation options for Amoore and will provide updates as appropriate.

Amoore, 5 feet 6 inches tall, was selected by the Mystics as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. She spent her final college basketball season at the University of Kentucky after previously playing for Virginia Tech. Despite concerns regarding her height in the WNBA, her potential made her an appealing choice for Washington.

This ACL injury is a significant setback for Amoore, who joined the Mystics with high expectations. The team is currently working to assess her condition and will announce further details about her recovery process.

The news of the injury adds to the pressure facing the Mystics as they prepare for the upcoming season, where they will aim for better performance after previous postseason disappointments. The coaching staff and players expressed their commitment to supporting Amoore through her recovery.

Updates regarding her condition are anticipated, as the Mystics are hopeful for a swift and effective rehabilitation for their first-round pick.
