WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Washington Mystics announced today that they have re-signed free-agent veteran guard Shatori Walker-Kimbrough.

"Shatori has been an integral part of the Mystics' success and was a major priority for us during free agency," said General Manager Mike Thibault. "Her ability and energy at both ends of the court has a great impact on how we play. Her offensive game continues to expand, and she has become an excellent defender on all the perimeter positions. We see her as a mainstay on our roster. Welcome back Shatori!"
The six-year pro, who was a member of the 2019 Mystics Championship Team, totaled career-bests in points (241), free throw made (55) and attempts (61), rebounds (64), assists (53) and steals (37) during the 2022 season.
