The 13-year WNBA guard is still searching for her first breakout game as a Spark after returning from a torn ACL
TORRANCE — Sparks point guard Jasmine Thomas is ready to stop overthinking and start playing basketball.Thomas, 33, is a mere 11 games back after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in May 2022. The 13-year WNBA guard,, is still searching for her first breakout game in a Sparks uniform.
“She brings a veteran presence. She certainly knows our terminology. She understands the philosophies that we brought with us from Connecticut,” said Sparks head coach Curt Miller, who is nearly halfway through his first season with the Sparks, after previously coaching for the past seven years with the Connecticut Sun.
“I think what I am going through is kind of normal. I think it’s a progression of getting back to being confident and being able to be myself. I didn’t have that time where I could do this behind the scenes. It was either play and try to get the growing pains out as I play or just keep sitting out,” Thomas said.
The Sparks have lost eight of their past 11 games as starters Lexie Brown , Layshia Clarendon and Chiney Ogwumike have been sidelined. The team is hoping to break a four-game losing streak when they play the Mercury on Sunday in Phoenix.
