Alyssa Thomas heading to Mercury from Sun in trade, AP source says
The Phoenix Mercury were finalizing a deal to acquire Alyssa Thomas from the Connecticut Sun, a person familiar with the trade told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.
The Sun also will send Ty Harris to Phoenix, while Connecticut will receive Natasha Cloud, Rebecca Allen and the No. 12 pick in this year's draft, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the deal.
Thomas has played her entire career with Connecticut and helped the franchise reach the WNBA Finals in 2019 and 2022. Thomas was an unrestricted free agent before she was designated as the team's franchise player earlier this month, meaning the only way she could sign with another team was via trade.
Since the deal is a sign-and-trade, it can't become official until Feb. 1. ESPN first reported the trade.
