Mystics first-round pick Georgia Amoore tears ACL in practice

Georgia Amoore’s rookie season in the WNBA suffered a setback just days before the season opener.

The Washington Mystics announced on Wednesday that Amoore, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during practice on Tuesday. The team did not specifically say she tore the ligament or offer a timeline for how long she will be out.

‘Amoore and the team will examine treatment and rehabilitation options and provide an update as appropriate,’ the news release read.

If the injury turns out to be a torn ACL, she is in danger of missing her entire rookie season in 2025. According to the Cleveland Clinic, a typical recovery time for torn ACLs is 6-9 months. The 2025 WNBA season will last five months from the start of the regular season on May 16 through Oct. 17, the last possible date of the WNBA Finals.

The former Virginia Tech and Kentucky was drafted on April 14, just over a week after the 2025 women’s NCAA Tournament concluded. The Mystics are scheduled to play Caitilin Clark and the Indiana Fever in a preseason game on Saturday, with the season starting on May 16 against the Atlanta Dream.

The 5-foot-6 guard transferred to the Wildcats as a graduate transfer for the 2024-25 season and helped lead Kentucky to a 23-8 record and the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 2021-22. Amoore averaged 19.6 points and 6.9 assists in 36.7 minutes per game, appearing in all 31 games.

Washington finished 14-26 last season and had three of the top six picks in the WNBA draft. Amoore was the third Mystics draft pick, joining Notre Dame’s Sonia Citron (third) and USC’s Kiki Iriafen (fourth).
