The Washington Mystics announced the re-signing of Natasha Cloud on Wednesday and Khristina Williams of Girls Talk Sports TV reported that the contract is for three years and that Cloud will be paid $190,000 in 2021.
In addition to that news, Mystics center LaToya Sanders announced her retirement on Monday, the same day the team signed Theresa Plaisance to a training camp contract.
“(I missed) this family,” Cloud said in a Zoom press conference on Wednesday. “This is a family here. This is not just an organization.
“To not be able to go into work every day and see everyone’s faces, all that little stuff that can sometimes get taken for granted. I missed that dramatically last summer, especially with how heavy that summer was. To not have that outlet of the court, to not have that outlet of our team, it was really hard to kind of decipher through my feelings.

Not long after the news of center LaToya Sanders retiring from the WNBA, the Washington Mystics welcome forward Theresa Plaisance to the team. General Manager and Head Coach Mike Thibault announced the news today.
Welcome to the District @tplai55!!
Plaisance comes to the Mystics after being on two previous teams in her career. She was drafted in the 2014 WNBA Draft by the Tulsa Shock (Dallas Wings) in the third round where she was for five seasons. After that Plaisance spent time with the Connecticut Sun in 2019.
Head Coach Mike Thibault expressed the team’s excitement of having Plaisance with Washington.

Yesterday, the Washington Mystics announced that LaToya Sanders retired from the WNBA but will remain with Monumental Sports & Entertainment in a general player development capacity. The move was a surprise, and given that they also signed Theresa Plaisance yesterday, it’s always a good thing to take a step back and see where the team is after such moves. Here are three takeaways on where the Mystics are at this point.
No. 1: The frontcourt rotation seems clearer.
The Mystics’ frontcourt currently has Elena Delle Donne, Tina Charles, Myisha Hines-Allen, Erica McCall and Plaisance. It’s pretty clear that Delle Donne will get a starting role and major minutes while Hines-Allen and Charles will also get starter-level minutes. McCall and Plaisance have been reserves for their careers and will likely be in a similar role this season.
