Thomas Signs with Seattle of the WNBA

DURHAM, N.C. – The Seattle Storm of the WNBA has signed Duke alumna Krystal Thomas, which has been announced by the team.

With the signing, Duke now owns 10 alumnae currently playing in the WNBA, which ranks as the second-most by any NCAA Division I institution.

Thomas, who was drafted by the Storm in the third round (36th overall) of the 2011 WNBA Draft, played seven games in a Seattle jersey that same season. She then signed a series of seven-day contracts with both Phoenix and Seattle spanning the 2011 and 2012 seasons, logging 29 games with the Mercury in 2012, and appeared in all 34 regular-season games for Phoenix in 2013.
