Alright, Seattle, listen up, because tonight in Arizona, things are about to get real spicy in the WNBA, and it absolutely matters to our Seattle Storm! The Indiana Fever are facing off against the Phoenix Mercury, and it’s the first time these two teams have met since a seriously wild incident back on June 24. Yeah, you remember.
The Bad Blood Is Boiling: Thomas vs. Clark Round Two?
You know the one I'm talking about. In that last matchup, the Mercury's Alyssa Thomas pulled a move that earned her a flagrant foul after the fact: she put her fist right on Caitlin Clark's throat. Seriously, on her throat! It sparked a massive league-wide debate about officiating, and frankly, it felt pretty dirty. Now, Clark is back in action tonight after missing two games with a back injury, so she's expected to play. And Thomas? She's on the Mercury's injury report, but she's also listed as probable. So yeah, get ready for potential fireworks, because you just know there’s some tension there, right?
