Alyssa Thomas suspended one game for contact with Caitlin Clark
www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j... WNBA suspends Alyssa Thomas for ‘cheap shot’ throat hit to Caitlin Clark
debwallace.bsky.social10It’s about fucking time the WNBA did something about these flagrant fouls
cb-2025.bsky.social7When is Caitlin going to be safe? The jealousy hits are really lowlife behavior.
Simeon Pundit5WNBA officials are consistently terrible, in multiple directions. Just an incompetent lot.
Jason5Suspend Caitlin Clark for inciting it. #ClarkCult #DoubleStandards
teecee473In my opinion the women play rougher than the men. I would prefer the refs start calling more the body bumping, reaching in, hand checking, illegal use of arms while dribbling, rebound fouls, over back etc. In the 60's you couldn't physically touch anyone, which typically favored the ball handler.
realbigpinekey.bsky.social2She ought to be permanently banned. What a nasty pos loser Thomas is. The refs in that league are atrocious
digger69-51.bsky.social2Why didn’t they do something about the knee to Clark’s groin on the same play by Thomas?🤷♂️ just asking
Not a single thing that Caitlin Clark has experienced in the wnba is unique to her. What IS unique to her is the people who think she should not have to deal with physical play, referees/coaches/teammates who disagree with her, or ANY criticism of her game including the generational talent turnovers
Obsidian Blue3But Munk....she can shoot soooooooooooooo far
Rey Wil2Oh lawd, CC received a hard foul from a (gasp)….Black woman. To the interwebs we must go! We must save her honor.
Party Like It’s 19392Not even factoring in her history of unsportsmanlike conduct, going back to college. She basically a white Draymond without a Steph to legitimize her.
The WNBA handed down a one-game suspension today to Alyssa Thomas after reviewing Wednesday night's game and issuing a flagrant foul penalty.
Conscientious Ice🧊11PBS, make sure you report this WNBA news bsky.app/profile/thea...
PBS News7The league said Thomas "recklessly" pressed her fist to the throat of Caitlin Clark during the second quarter of the Phoenix Mercury's win over the Indiana Fever. No foul was called on the floor at the time.
Dee4So, another news agency gets involved with reporting on the WNBA. Why report now, you haven't in the past.
nyckaty132.bsky.social4Only one game suspension? Way too lenient. She kneed her in groin same time she hit her with fist in her throat.
delf2Yo Alyssa , you aint no hero. You're a coward
Dana Holtzbert35Looking forward to your coverage of Marina's 53 point game tomorrow. #WNBA
Nancy Drew: Girl Detective12I was surprised how many WNBA commentator/podcast people said they thought Alyssa should be suspended including @seeratsohi.bsky.social, @nocapspacewbb.com and @quitalovessports.bsky.social Honestly, it’s making me reconsider. And, like Quita said, maybe it’s irrelevant whether it was intentional.
TJ8Their last WNBA post was 3 months ago. And before that...6 months ago.
t4ner2now explain that ridiculous poster @wnba ... eh, @alongcamepoly4thew.bsky.social
Guys who don't actually watch the WNBA love to call Caitlin Clark the league's "meal ticket"
Petco Park (0-0)10The WNBA has been a physical league since well before ESPN told you to pay attention. There's an argument to be made that better officiating would improve the league and mitigate some of the reckless physical play, but this isn't unique to one player and isn't anything new.
Rey Wil3Hearing choads complaining about contact in a contact sport happening to one specific player has very “owning the Libs” vibes to it
Miss Lilly2So ignorant they don't even realize she's the 3rd best player on her own team, nonetheless her place in the rest of the league.
Alyssa Thomas has received a 1-game suspension for her foul on Caitlin Clark. (It at the 6:52 mark of the 2Q of last night’s game.) Thomas’s foul was also upgraded to a flagrant 2 upon review. Thomas will serve her suspension on June 27 vs the Tempo.
Briana36I dont have a problem with this. However...are they going to do this type of review for *every* game, or just games where CC is playing? I've seen a number of fouls that werent called and should have been flagrants just go unnoticed by the refs and the league, it seems. Funny how that works 🙄 #WNBA
Meghan L. Hall19Also, something to keep in mind going forward: The WNBA has the option, following review of a game, to reclassify a flagrant foul or to classify as flagrant any foul not called. It may also later impose a fine and/or suspension.
Mark E Saltz16If she didn’t suspended for he collision with Phee, then she shouldn’t be suspended for this either. The WNBA caved to pressure from bigots who equated the contact to CC “taking a wrong turn in the city at night”. If they can have their halftime let have their own sports league.
ressia.bsky.social13I am not an AT or Mercury fan, but I think this helps set a dangerous precedent. Signals to other players that “she” is “untouchable.” I am so over “her,” the Fever, and even Stephanie White. #WNBA
trust me, i’m a therapist13WOW. protecting their golden child against something that didn’t even happen. it was a screenshot. ATs had fell to the ground beside her smh. we know where the league stands we didn’t need another example of it
Shameka 🏀9Knew this was coming. There was way too much fan uproar about this for the league to do nothing #WNBA
Arike Ogunbowale Enthusiast9No AT during the Tempo Pride game that I am going to????? Come the fuck on
Still A CT Sun Fan 😭9We all saw this coming. I'm not mad at it though it wasn't the intentional act people are making it out to be. #WNBA
your friendly neighborhood mel8I would hope this would shut folks up, but it never ends with those people. (For the record, the play definitely deserved a flagrant one, and maybe a fine, but people were acting like she was shot on the court 🙄)
J8Can Fever fans shut the fuck up now? Good grief
I am worried for Alyssa Thomas the way this is getting whipped up.
Michelle7I’m demented but this shot looks like a still from an action movie where AT & DB are the bodyguards for a spoiled, whiny rich kid and they’re really beginning to regret their client selection.
Sue BirdWife 🏳️⚧️4It’s so insane. There’s no force behind her hand at all it just slips off CC’s shoulder as she’s trying to get back up. CC is visibly completely fine walking away from it. Instant witch hunt because it looks worse in slow mo
WNBA News: Alyssa Thomas has been assessed a flagrant penalty 2 and a one game suspension for “recklessly making contact with her fist to the throat area” of Caitlin Clark. The incident occurred in the second quarter of last’s night matchup in Indianapolis.
Pull Up 34The official communication from the WNBA. Alyssa Thomas will serve her suspension on Saturday’s matchup against the Toronto Tempo
cwright0984.bsky.social4Only people who have an agenda against Clark will argue against this punishment. This was not a basketball move it was an intentional attempt to injure.
