The 32-year-old star started against the Mystics but could only feature for the first seven minutes of the first quarter. During that short span, Thomas was able to make a single rebound and an assist, however, couldn’t score any points for her team. But, what happened to the star forward that she just became a spectator post-first quarter? Let’s explore the reason behind her leaving the court.

Alyssa Thomas picked injury in the first half

It seems that Alyssa Thomas has suffered a leg injury right in the first quarter of the game. The Underdog WNBA tweeted, “Status alert: Alyssa Thomas (leg) helped to locker room Saturday.” However, despite the Sun’s lead in the game, Thomas’ absence will surely haunt them as she has been good with her contributions this season.

Thomas has averaged 11.4 points along with nine rebounds and 7.8 assists per game this year. It’s her versatile excellence which adds value to the team’s game. In the last game against Indiana Fever, Thomas averaged 17 points along with 6 rebounds and 6 assists. And what can’t be overlooked is that she is the player who holds the record for most assists in a single season, which is currently chased by the Fever rookie Caitlin Clark.

Well, the Connecticut Sun fans can heave a sigh of relief as not only did their team defeat the Mystics in the game, but there have been new updates on Alyssa Thomas’ injury. Let’s delve into the latest developments!

Update on Alyssa Thomas’ injury and the Connecticut Sun back to winning ways

The first good news for the Sun supporters is that Alyssa Thomas is all fit and fine. The Connecticut Sun PR tweeted on X, “Alyssa Thomas is cleared to return to the game.” However, the forward didn’t involve herself in the Mystics game later, as her teammates were already enough to guide Connecticut to a comfortable victory.

That’s right, Connecticut Sun has come out victorious in Saturday’s game as Washington Mystics succumbed to a loss by 96-85. It was a complete team performance that led Sun back to its winning ways after their loss against Fever in the last game.
