Phoenix Mercury's Alyssa Thomas landed a one-game suspension after a controversial incident where she hit Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark in the throat during a game. This flagrant foul has sparked discussions about player safety in the WNBA. While suspensions are routine for such fouls, this case is notable due to the high-profile nature of both players and the potential implications for on-court conduct.
