The Washington Mystics are contemplating a midseason trade involving player Edwards, as multiple teams have shown interest in her. Currently averaging 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in her second season, her role is impacted by a crowded frontcourt that includes rookie Kiki Iriafen and Shakira Austin. A potential trade must be executed by August 7, 2025, and the Mystics could seek draft picks or players they can retain in 2026. Challenges arise due to many players, excluding rookies, becoming free agents in 2026 while the Collective Bargaining Agreement approaches.
According to Kendra Andrews and Alexa Philippou of ESPN, "multiple teams" have inquired about Edwards' availability to the Mystics - and Washington is listening.
Edwards is in her second season for the Mystics, but is averaging just 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in the 2025 season.
If Washington decides to trade Edwards, they will have to do so by Aug. 7 at 3 p.m. ET.
Trading players will be complicated for Washington because nearly every WNBA player not on a rookie contract is a free agent in 2026.
