Wall has been an ardent supporter of the Mystics franchise throughout his decade playing in D.C., particularly during their successful run to the 2019 WNBA championship. Wall wasn't going to let playing a time zone away in the Western Conference stop him from cheering on his favorite hoopers in the women's game.
Wall's support comes at a crucial juncture for the Mystics, who in 10th place are looking to climb two spots with 10 games remaining to make the postseason. Boosted by Elena Delle Donne's second straight appearance after a 23-month absence, but hampered by news that Emma Meeseman won't be suiting up this season, the Mystics will surely welcome any good luck charms they can find.
