Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas made contact with Caitlin Clark’s throat with a fist during the Wednesday matchup against the Indiana Fever. The incident occurred in the final minutes and was reviewed promptly by officials and the league office.

The WNBA imposed a one‑game suspension on Thomas as disciplinary action. Mercury will need to adjust its rotation while Thomas serves the ban.
