Williams, a second-round pick (No. 14 overall)
in this month's WNBA Draft, got hurt in practice, according to
the team.
Williams, 21, helped UConn reach three Final Fours in her four
seasons, including the national title game last season.
She averaged 14.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game
in 2021-22.
"We are heartbroken for Christyn and will miss her greatly,"
Mystics coach and general manager Mike Thibault said in a
team-issued statement. "She was off to a terrific start in
training camp, and I know she will work diligently to make a
comeback next season. She will have our full support and all of
our resources during her rehab. She is part of the Mystics
family."
