Forward Alyssa Thomas is looking forward to spendingโข time โคwith family and enjoying home-cooked meals. “I’m looking forward to resting and spending some time with some family.

So [I’m] looking forward toโฆ getting a home cooked meal, [and to] get loved on โby my family,” Thomas explained.
The Connecticut Sun concluded their season aiming to return next year as an improved team andโ contend for a playoff โberth.
