The WNBA has suspended Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas for one game after she "recklessly" drove her fist into the throat of Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark during a match on Wednesday. The incident, which went uncalled by referees at the time, occurred during Phoenix's 111–109 away victory when Thomas pushed her fist into Clark's throat while both players were on the floor, then stood up and stepped over her. Thomas, a six-time All-Star, will serve her suspension on Saturday when Phoenix face the Toronto Tempo, while Clark — who left Wednesday's game early with back issues — is having a standout season, averaging a career-high 21.2 points per game.
