Dishes 12 dimes in Saturday's win Thomas logged four points (2-5 FG), 12 assists, six rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes in Saturday's 101-69 win over Toronto.

Impact The four points that Thomas scored matched a season low that she set against the Mystics on Thursday. However, she more than made up for it offensively by getting her teammates involved, logging double-digit assists for the third time in four games en route to a third consecutive double-double. Thomas will end the month of August having averaged 12.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.4 steals over 32.9 minutes per game.

Toronto visits Phoenix after Copper's 35-point game

Phoenix takes on the Toronto Tempo after Kahleah Copper scored 35 points in the Phoenix Mercury's 80-73 loss to the Washington Mystics

AUGUST 29 • Associated Press

Snags 10 boards in loss Thomas registered four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 32 minutes during Thursday's 80-73 loss to Washington.

Impact Thomas left the scoring to Kahleah Copper, who finished with a game-high 35 points on the night. Thomas elected to do her damage elsewhere, nearly securing a double-double with her effort on the glass and as a playmaker. This dud in the scoring column appears to be a blip on the radar considering she'd put up double figures in each of her previous 11 matchups entering Thursday.

Posts another double-double Thomas amassed 16 points (8-13 FG), six rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 94-84 loss to the Mystics.

Impact That makes it back-to-back double-doubles for Thomas, who has dished out double-digit assists 10 times this season. The star forward is averaging 14.8 points, 8.3 assists, 7.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game over 36 appearances.

Posts triple-double Saturday Thomas posted 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-5 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Saturday's 99-89 loss to the Dream.

Impact Thomas struggled somewhat as a scorer but compensated with another huge all-around performance, leading Phoenix in both rebounds and assists by a sizable margin en route to a triple-double while attempting just 10 shots. Thomas continues to provide elite production outside the scoring column, and Saturday's performance reinforced her exceptionally high fantasy floor even on nights when her shot isn't falling. This was her first triple-double since Aug. 3, and her third of the current campaign.

Just misses triple-double in home loss Thomas recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 88-85 loss to the Fire.

Impact Thomas just fell short of a triple-double by one assist in the narrow home setback. It would have been her second triple-double in August, and third in the past nine games. She has been able to do a little bit of everything for fantasy managers, scoring at least 10 points in nine straight, while posting at least six rebounds in four in a row, and 15 of the past 16 contests. She also has at least six assists in 11 of the past 12 games, showing her versatility.

Records four steals in loss Thomas provided 10 points (3-9 FG, 4-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and four steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 75-72 loss to Connecticut.

Impact Thomas did not have an efficient offensive performance Friday, particularly from the charity stripe. However, she did lead the Mercury in assists while tying a season high in steals, and she finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Kelsey Plum (25 points) and Kahleah Copper (16 points). Thomas is averaging 14.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.5 steals over 34.1 minutes per game this season.
