OVERVIEW
In her sixth WNBA season and sixth with the Mystics, Ruffin-Pratt is the longest-tenured player on the team. While she took on a bench role this season, she was a mainstay of the team appearing in all 33 regular season games and 9 postseason games. Her consistent grittiness and physicality on the court provided an immeasurable impact to the team.

- Led the team in rebounding once this season, grabbing five boards against Indiana on May 20.
