Former Wildcat Sam Thomas, who spent all last season with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, returned to the Mercury Wednesday on an injury replacement contract after stars Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner were ruled out of the lineup.
Brett Fera Without its three biggest stars and owning the WNBA’s worst record so far this season, the Phoenix Mercury turned to a Tucson favorite for insurance Wednesday, signing Arizona great Sam Thomas to an injury replacement contract ahead of the Mercury's matinee matchup with defending champion Las Vegas.
Thomas, who spent her rookie season with the Mercury in 2022 after serving as a five-year catalyst and Final Four linchpin with the Wildcats, prepped for the 2023 campaign with Phoenix, but was a training camp roster cut last month. Mercury guard Skylar Diggins-Smith, a first-team all-WNBA selection a year ago, has also been away from the court so far this season on maternity leave.
Playing for UA coach Adia Barnes in Tucson, Thomas was an All-Pac-12 selection in 2021, helping lead the Wildcats to the program’s first ever Final Four and national championship game berth.
