Alyssa Thomas sits out her next game after a controversial play involving Caitlin Clark, earning a flagrant two foul and one-game suspension for making contact with Clark’s throat — deemed a non-basketball act. The incident, part of a heated matchup between the Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever, adds tension as Clark also received a technical foul for clapping. Thomas, a 13-year veteran never before suspended, now misses a crucial game as the Mercury, currently seventh in the West, lose their second-leading scorer. The Fever, third in the East, play that same night — as the league grapples with player conduct and its ripple effects on standings and availability.
