The Phoenix Mercury lost to the Las Vegas Aces last night, but they have a chance to recover as they take on the Golden State Valkyries.

Thomas secured her sixth triple-double of the season on a rebound with 8:59 remaining in the fourth quarter, and she assisted on Monique Akoa Makani’s 3-pointer at the other end for a 71-56 lead. Thomas tied her 2023 record for the most triple-doubles by a WNBA player during a single season.

The Golden State Valkyries have been riddled with injuries as of late, with three players listed as either questionable or not with the team ahead of Friday nig
