Alyssa Thomas has 50 pounds on Caitlin Clark, so it’s no surprise what happened during Monday’s Connecticut Sun win over the Indiana Fever, a game in which Clark got trolled for flopping and the rookie heard some supportive chants.
Clark tried to grab a loose ball that landed in Thomas’s hands and wrapped her hands around the forward’s. But then Thomas casually tossed Clark aside and continued the play that ended in a miss by Brionna Jones.
Hey, it happens. This isn’t anything bad for Clark or any statement about her from Thomas. Sometimes, you just get thrown by an opponent bigger than you!
Alyssa Thomas TOO BIG!!
