Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas said Tuesday she and her family have received death threats and racial slurs following her one-game suspension for making fist contact with Caitlin Clark’s throat during a June 24 game. Thomas criticized WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert for staying silent, though multiple reports indicate the two exchanged texts last week about security concerns. Engelbert later issued a statement condemning hate and confirming league security contacted the Mercury.
