What It All Means. Mystics fans already know that not having DeLisha Milton-Jones able to play for most (if not all) of the remainder of the season will have a huge impact on the team. In today's Washington Post, Coach Richie Adubato explains just how much that impact will be. In Richie's words,

"This is a big loss for us because DeLisha brings so much to our team. She's our only big [player] who can shoot from the outside and that stretches the defense. Not having her is detrimental for us because in my offense, we've always had a [power forward] who could shoot from the outside."

In addition, Zane Teilane, who has now been activated, is, according to Richie, not quite ready for prime time:

"'We just hope Zane can give us three or four minutes a game -- she's a project. She's still a couple of years away' from being a major contributor."

Or, in Latvian: "Ceram, ka Zane mums varēs spēlē palīdzēt 3 vai 4 minūtes.”
