Why are they called the Washington Mystics?
The Mystics began play as an expansion team in 1998, one year after the WNBA made its debut as a league. The nickname Mystics evoked the team's counterpart in the National Basketball Association, the Washington Wizards. Both franchises were owned by businessman and philanthropist Abe Pollin.
