Michaela Onyenwere has been trying to elevate to star status ever since she earned the WNBA Rookie of the Year award in 2021. She averaged 8.6 points per game for the New York Liberty that year, shining brighter than everyone else in her draft class, despite five players being selected No.

Michaela Onyenwere comes to the Washington Mystics as more than just a player. Despite being in only her fifth season in the WNBA, she is one of the veterans on this young roster and, at 26, is currently the oldest player on the team.
