Jasmine Thomas is reuniting with her former coach. Thomas — along with the No. 10 overall pick — was traded from the Connecticut Sun to the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday in exchange for three players, the Sparks announced.
The move reunites Thomas with Sparks head coach Curt Miller, who spent the last seven seasons coaching the Sun.Thomas, 33, was limited to just five games last season due to a torn ACL. She averaged 6.6 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds per contest. In her previous six seasons, all under Miller, Thomas averaged 11.9 points and 6.0 assists per game.
Miller credited Thomas' knowledge of the game and ability on both ends of the floor as a reason Miller will fit in with the Sparks, per"I have had the pleasure of coaching Jasmine for my entire professional head coaching career and know she will be an incredible addition to this team and the culture we are building in LA," said Sparks Head Coach Curt Miller.
The Sun reached the WNBA Finals without Thomas last season, where the team fell to the Las Vegas Aces 3-1.The Sun received center Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Jasmine Walker and the reserved rights to Kianna Smith in the deal. Nelson-Ododa and Smith were drafted by the Sparks in 2022. Walker was drafted by Los Angeles in 2021. Nelso-Ododa has experienced the most success of that trio, averaging 4.0 points and 2.9 rebounds over 30 games.
