The Washington Mystics traded forward Aaliyah Edwards to the Connecticut Sun on Thursday for guard Jacy Sheldon.
Edwards, 23, is averaging 6.0 points and 3.3 rebounds in 21 games off the Washington bench this season. She averaged 7.0 points and 4.7 boards in 55 career games (17 starts) with the Mystics.
Sheldon, 24, is averaging 7.5 points and 2.0 assists and shooting 41.2 percent from 3-point range in 28 games (17 starts) for Connecticut this season. She has career averages of 6.3 points and 2.3 assists in 68 games (43 starts) with the Dallas Wings (2024) and Sun.
Sheldon (fifth overall) and Edwards (sixth) were selected with back-to-back picks in the first round of the 2024 WNBA Draft.
The deal also gives Washington the option to swap rights for two 2026 first-round picks: the pick the Sun received from the New York Liberty for the pick the Mystics received from the Minnesota Lynx.
