Canada’s Aaliyah Edwards out two weeks with back contusion

A Canadian WNBA star could start her season on the shelf.

Washington Mystics forward Aaliyah Edwards was ruled out for two weeks with a lower back contusion, the team said on Thursday.

The team did not say when the injury occurred. Mystics’ training camp ahead of the 2025 season opened on Tuesday.

Edwards, the No. 6 pick in the 2024 draft from Kingston, Ont., averaged 7.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in her rookie season.

She competed in the inaugural three-on-three Unrivaled campaign during the off-season, making a splash when she reached the final of the mid-season one-on-one tournament.

Washington has already taken an injury blow, ruling out rookie Georgia Amoore for the season after she tore her ACL.

The Mystics season begins May 16 at home against the Atlanta Dream.
