康涅狄格太阳队周五晚间在康州温库斯维尔为阿丽莎·托马斯举办球衣退役仪式，正式荣誉退役其25号球衣[1]。托马斯在太阳队效力11年间，成为球队历史得分、篮板、出场次数、上场时间和助攻的领先者[1]。她率领球队两次打入WNBA总决赛，并连续六个赛季进入季后赛半决赛[1]。
托马斯于2014年选秀夜通过交易加入太阳队，在2024赛季后转投菲尼克斯队[1]。
退役仪式当晚的比赛中，太阳队以75-72战胜菲尼克斯队[1]。托马斯在该场比赛得到10分、8个篮板、5次助攻和4次抢断[1]。
太阳队计划在今年晚些时候继续退役蒂娜·查尔斯的球衣，并为主教练迈克·蒂博尔举办荣誉仪式[1]。
The Connecticut Sun honored Alyssa Thomas with a jersey retirement ceremony on Friday night, commemorating her 11-year tenure with the franchise [1]. Thomas, who joined the team via trade on draft night in 2014, became the franchise leader in points, rebounds, games played, minutes and assists during her time with the organization [1].
Throughout her career with Connecticut, Thomas helped guide the Sun to two WNBA Finals appearances and six consecutive playoff runs to the semifinals [1]. After the 2024 season, Thomas moved to the Phoenix Mercury, marking the end of an era for the franchise [1]. The Sun also announced plans to retire Tina Charles's jersey and honor head coach Mike Thibault later this season [1].
Connecticut defeated Phoenix 75-72 in the jersey retirement game [1]. Thomas recorded 10 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals in the contest [1]. The Sun organization will relocate to Houston next season, adding another layer of significance to the tribute ceremony [1].
