This was the year for the Connecticut Sun. But it always comes down to health, and that's particularly true for short WNBA seasons. Now the title favorites will have to go on without their starting point guard.
Jasmine Thomas will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in her right knee, the team announced Tuesday. Thomas, a 12-year veteran who has been with the Sun since 2015, sustained the injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 92-70 win against the Indiana Fever. She will have surgery and a timetable is currently unavailable.
"Of course, I'm sad that I won't be able to continue playing on the court with this special team," Thomas said in a team release.
