Mystics forward Elena Delle Donne, pictured in a game last month against Connecticut, had a game-high 28 points against Atlanta on Sunday. (John McDonnell/The Washington Post)With Elena Delle Donne back in action, the Washington Mystics are looking more and more like the dynamic squad that dismantled the WNBA’s top team three weeks ago. She wore a face mask for the first time in a home game this year and scored a game-high 28 points. The mask makes its debut in D.C. @WashMystics pic.twitter.com/oEZB5DSivS — Alex Andrejev (@AndrejevAlex) July 21, 2019“[The mask] doesn’t bother her,” Mystics Coach and General Manager Mike Thibault said of Delle Donne, who was not made available for comment. The Mystics visit Minnesota on Wednesday before Saturday’s All-Star Game, which will feature Delle Donne as a captain and Toliver as a reserve.
