🔥 New angle showed DeWanna Bonner (GF of Alyssa Thomas) driving her knee into the shoulder of Caitlin Clark. Wait for the zoom. A seemingly premeditated attack by the happy couple. WNBA is disgusting. Apparently THIS was only worth a 1 game suspension for Alyssa Thomas 🤡

Here’s Indiana’s own Jeff Teague and his crew giving their take on the Caitlin Clark–Alyssa Thomas play, saying, “Alyssa Thomas was just going for the ball and fell on Caitlin.” 😳 Jeff Teague, you of all people should know better. You had your own history of dirty plays, including shoving LeBron James out of frustration when your team was losing. Spare us the revisionist history.

NEW: WNBA player Alyssa Thomas has been suspended after she cheap-shotted Caitlin Clark in the throat. No foul was called during the game as Thomas was caught on camera jamming her fist into Clark's throat. The league has now suspended Thomas for one game and will fine her $1000. "Per WNBA rule, the League Office has the option, following its review of any game, to reclassify a Flagrant foul or to classify as Flagrant any foul not called as such during a game and may impose a fine and/or suspension," the WNBA said.
