The Washington Mystics were one of the few WNBA teams not playing Wednesday, allowing rookie star Kiki Iriafen to attend the 2025 ESPYS.<\/p>\n

Kiki attended Wednesday’s ceremony days amid a great debut season, which has earned her a trip to the All-Star game this coming weekend.<\/p>\n

The USC Trojans player looked great on the red carpet at the show, which is being hosted by Shane Gillis and currently airing on the ABC and ESPN networks. In conjunction with the event, ESPN shared photos from the red carpet.<\/p>\n
