Alyssa Thomas Speaks Out After Suspension | Tucson News

Alyssa Thomas speaks out after receiving death threats and racial slurs following a one-game suspension for accidental contact with Caitlin Clark’s throat — calling out the WNBA for failing to protect players and for painting them negatively amid online hate. She’s frustrated the league didn’t directly reach out to her and feels their response has been inadequate, especially as player safety is at stake. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert condemned the hate and affirmed player safety as top priority, but Thomas remains disappointed. The incident has reignited debates over conduct, safety, and public perception in the WNBA as tensions loom ahead of their July rematch.
