Mercury's Thomas says she has received online abuse following suspension for Caitlin Clark incident‎

Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas said she has received death threats and been called racial slurs in the aftermath of her one-game suspension after she made contact with her fist to Caitlin Clark’s throat in last week's matchup against Indiana. Thomas also criticized WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert for not doing more to protect the league's players when she spoke with reporters on Tuesday at the team's practice facility. Thomas called the play a “complete accident," but said her main concern wasn't the suspension.
