WNBA has to fix the scheduling of the offseason

Georgia Amoore was one of the three rookies that the Washington Mystics selected in the first six picks of the 2025 WNBA Draft. Washington navigated through the lottery well, picking up talent that they hope will help accelerate their rebuild. Unfortunately, they will have to wait until next season to see all of their 2025 rookies play on the court.

Georgia Amoore tore her ACL during an offseason practice with the Mystics, one of her first with the team. Instead of proving herself and getting acclimated to the WNBA, Amoore will ride the bench and be forced to watch as she recovers. WNBA fans voiced their dismay at the injury, with one going as far as to suggest that the league adjust its scheduling to help rookies in the offseason.
