Washington Mystics star forward Elena Delle Donne missed Sunday’s 71-65 road win over the Seattle Storm due to neck tightness.
Delle Donne is averaging a team-best 18.6 points to go along with 7.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists in seven games (all starts) for the Mystics (4-3).
A two-time WNBA MVP and six-time All-Star, Delle Donne has contributed 19.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 225 career games (218 starts) with the Chicago Sky (2013-16) and Mystics.
The Mystics led by as many as 28 points during the game but saw the lead slip to four points late in the fourth. Jewell Loyd, who missed Friday’s game due to a foot injury, returned Sunday and scored 16 points.
