Mystics Add Veteran Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Waive Rori Harmon

The Mystics claimed former All-Star Betnijah Laney-Hamilton off waivers from the Liberty, waiving rookie Rori Harmon to clear a roster spot. Laney-Hamilton brings championship experience, defense, and 3-point shooting to the young core as the team pushes for the playoffs. Detailed reports note she fell out of favor in New York (ejection, healthy scratches) but has strong playoff pedigree. The team hopes to bring Harmon back on a developmental deal. This is a clear signal the Mystics are aggressively pursuing a deep playoff run.
