Harmon's Career With the Mystics
The rookie guard started her WNBA career Washington after the franchise drafted her with the No. 34 overall pick in the third round of the 2026 WNBA Draft.
Harmon has played 10 games with the Mystics this season but has seen limited minutes on the court. She averaged just one point, 1.1 assists and 0.8 rebounds across 6.7 minutes per game. She played a career-high 22 minutes in the second regular season game of her career against the New York Liberty. In that game, she scored three points while recording three rebounds, four assists and a steal.
Before joining the Mystics, Harmon was a standout player for Texas. She became the first and only player in NCAA Division I women's basketball history with 1600+ points, 950+ assists, 375+ steals and 600+ rebounds in their career. Harmon finished her career as the Longhorns' all-time leader in career assists (977) and steals (388).
Harmon also helped Texas make back-to-back NCAA Final Four appearances for the first time since 1987.
