Earlier today, I wrote about Washington Mystics guard Sonia Citron’s accomplishments in her rookie season. But she wasn’t the only rookie to turn heads. Mystics forward Kiki Iriafen is another. She also made the AP WNBA All-Rookie team in her own right. She will also likely make the All-WNBA Rookie team itself.
Here are some reasons why Iriafen’s 2025 season in Washington is one to remember on its own.
Both Iriafen and Citron had very strong rookie seasons in 2025. Hopefully, we will see both of them repeat such performances in 2026 and help Washington improve in the standings.
