Source: Mystics GM Wideman Out After 1 Season
Washington Mystics dismissed GM Jamila Wideman after one season due to strategic differences with owner Michael Winger. Coach Sydney Johnson will now oversee basketball operations, leveraging his player‑development reputation. The move comes as the team prepares for free agency, aiming to add veteran talent around a young core of Shakira Austin, Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen. The franchise also holds three first‑round picks in the 2026 draft, providing leverage for roster building.
