    On Tuesday night, Alyssa Thomas and the Connecticut Sun suffered a 78-76 loss against the Minnesota Lynx. The Sun fall to 27-12 on the year with just one game remaining in the regular season.

    Thomas, who recently had her single-season assists record broken by Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, put her versatility on display once again with 18 points on 9-of-12 shooting, ten assists and eight rebounds.

    According to StatMamba on X, Thomas has now tied Clark and Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi for the second-most career games with 15+ points and 10+ assists, with each player having 11 such games. New York Liberty guard Courtney Vandersloot holds the record of 34 games with this stat line.

    It took Thomas 11 seasons and 318 games throughout her WNBA career to reach these numbers, but for Clark, it didn't even take one full season. This shows how great the former Iowa Hawkeyes star has been during her first professional season.

    WNBA fans were amazed that a player as good as Thomas is now only tied with a rookie for this career stat, taking to social media to leave their reactions.

    "'ties caitlin clark,'" one fan said.

    "I’ll never get tired of 'ties Caitlin Clark'"

    "She tyin with a rookie I know she Sick"

    "Ties rookie Caitlin Clark A rookie?? a player who has been in the league about 10 years and the other about 20 years share a record with a rookie and yet people still think she isn’t GENERATIONAL????? Lmfaoooo"

    "Tying the record of a rookie is really insane when you think about it especially when a player has been in the league way longer."

    "Legends are starting to chase Caitlin Clark and she hasn’t even played a full season She’s not like them"

    Barring a miracle, the Sun will finish with the league's third-best record and the three-seed in the WNBA Playoffs. If this holds true at the end of the regular season on Thursday, Connecticut will be taking on Clark and the Fever in the first round.
