Thomas currently leads the league in assists, averaging 9.3. Despite missing five games with a calf injury, Thomas has been a core piece in one of the Mercury’s best starts in franchise history.

The Phoenix forward became the first player in WNBA history to record multiple games with 15+ points, 15+ assists and 5+ rebounds in the regular season.

If chosen, Thomas will join Mercury’s Satou Sabally, voted in as a starter, in Indianapolis for the All-Star Game on July 19.
