Washington Mystics rookie guard Georgia Amoore has suffered a significant setback early in her WNBA career. The team announced that Amoore sustained an ACL injury during Tuesday’s practice session. While the Mystics did not provide a specific timeline for her return, ACL injuries typically require extensive rehabilitation, often sidelining athletes for several months to over a year depending on severity and recovery progress.
Amoore, a promising young talent, was selected by the Mystics in the 2024 WNBA Draft and had been showing potential during the team’s training sessions. Known for her quickness, court vision, and shooting ability, she was expected to contribute as a dynamic backcourt option for Washington. Prior to her WNBA debut, Amoore played college basketball at Virginia Tech—not Kentucky, as some reports have incorrectly stated—where she earned accolades for her playmaking and leadership.
This injury is a tough blow not only for the Mystics but for fans eager to see what Amoore could bring to the court in her rookie season. The team will continue to evaluate her condition and support her through the recovery process. In the meantime, Washington may need to adjust its rotation to fill the void left by her absence.
