The Mystics maybe struggling with a 4-7 record. But Sykes is leading the team in scoring and has the 4th highest scoring average in the WNBA.

Sykes has scored 20 or more points in seven of the Mystics eleven games.

On May 21, Sykes scored 30 points against the Golden State Valkyries. She led all scorers even as the Mystics loss 76-74.

On June 8, Sykes scored 28 points and made 14 free throws in a 104-67 win over the Connecticut Sun.

Altogether, Sykes has been a consistent and dynamic presence on both sides of the ball. In addition to scoring, she is an effective defense threat.

Sykes led the league in steals twice (2021,2022) and has been known to provide a few game saving blocks.

She has an uncanny ability to disrupt the passing lanes and play tough on-ball pressure defense.
