Alyssa Thomas named WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week
Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas was named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week, the league announced today. This marks the eighth time in Thomas’s ten-year professional career that she takes home Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors and the second time this season.
During the week of June 19-25, Thomas averaged 14.0 ppg, 11.7 rpg, 8.7 apg and 2.0 spg as the Sun went 3-0 in regular season action; recording a triple-double in two out of Connecticut’s three contests. In the Sun’s 85-79 win over the Storm on June 20, Thomas finished with 13 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. To close out the week, she tallied 14 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in the Sun’s 96-72 victory over the Sky on June 25. With those two triple-doubles, Thomas is now the league’s all-time leader in regular season triple-doubles with four in her career.
Thomas has played her entire WNBA career in Connecticut and has already hit major franchise milestones this season. On June 25 against Chicago, Thomas became the Sun franchise leader in rebounds (1,822), passing Taj McWilliams-Franklin who had held the record for 17 years (1,814). On June 15 against Atlanta, Thomas eclipsed 3,000 career points, becoming one of four players in franchise history to achieve the feat in a Sun uniform (N. Sales, A. Jones and T. McWilliams-Franklin). On June 4 against Dallas, she became the franchise leader in free throws made (693) and moved into third overall in games played in Connecticut Sun history (246).
Thomas and the Sun return to action tonight against the New York Liberty at 7:00 PM EST at Mohegan Sun Arena.
