Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen, Kayla Thornton and Gabby Williams earned their first All-Star selections as other members of the reserve unit
Alyssa Thomas was happy to see Phoenix Mercury fans welcome her fianceé, DeWanna Bonner, back in The Valley after her exit from the Indiana Fever.
Golden State Valkyries forward Kayla Thornton and Seattle Storm guard Gabby Williams were the two other first-year All-Star reserves named by the coaches Sunday. The All-Star starters were selected through a combination of voting by fans (50 percent), a national panel of media members (25 percent) and current WNBA players (25 percent).
Thomas had 15 assists in the Mercury's win over the Dallas Wings. Her performance led to her first triple-double of the season. It was also the third time she had 15 assists in a game this year. She had 15 in the Mercury's win over the Chicago Sky, and she did the same in their second win over the Liberty.
Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas earned her sixth All-Star selection of her illustrious career on Sunday as the WNBA announced the list of All-Star reserves for the upcoming game on June 19.
The Wings, however, came crashing back down to earth in Monday's rematch. The Mercury got their revenge from Thursday's loss with a massive 102-72 blowout win at home against Bueckers and Co.
Kayla Thornton, Gabby Williams, Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron will be making their All-Star debuts in Indianapolis later this month as they were all chosen on Sunday as reserves for the game.
