WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Mystics hired Ashlee McGee as an assistant coach.

The team announced the move Tuesday.

"We are thrilled to add Ashlee to our Mystics' coaching staff," coach Eric Thibault said.

We're excited to get her to D.C. to join our group in our pursuit of a WNBA championship."

Prior to her stints with Minnesota and Los Angeles, McGee was an assistant coach on multiple women's college basketball staffs, including James Madison and Milwaukee. She began her coaching career as a graduate assistant and assistant coach at Tennessee State from 2010-2014.
