As await the hoped-for flood of stunning free agency news, catch up on all the happenings from across the WNBA, beginning with the retirement of one of the game’s underrated greats.
All the best to Jasmine Thomas
Congratulations to Jasmine Thomas on a fantastic 13-year WNBA career! Thomas announced her retirement on Instagram on Thursday.
While Thomas spent time with the Washington Mystics, Atlanta Dream and, in her final season, Los Angeles Sparks, she’ll most be remembered for her eight seasons with the Connecticut Sun. She was integral to the Sun’s rise from a lottery team to a championship contender, earning one All-Star honor and five All-Defensive nominations during her Connecticut tenure. At her peak, she was one of the best point-of-attack defenders in the W, making expert use of her athleticism and intelligence to lock down some of the league’s best perimeter players.
