Alyssa Thomas (born April 12, 1992) is an American professional basketball forward for the Connecticut Sun of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She played college basketball for the Maryland Terrapins. The New York Liberty drafted Thomas 4th overall in the 2014 WNBA draft, and immediately traded her to the Sun along with Kelsey Bone and a 2015 first-round draft pick in exchange for Tina Charles. Thomas is the University of Maryland's all-time leader in scoring, rebounding and double-doubles for both the women's and men's programs, and one of nine athletes in NCAAW history with six career triple-doubles.[1] In the WNBA, Thomas recorded fifteen career triple-doubles.[2] She is one of four players to record 15+, 15+, 10+ with 0 turnovers (Nikola Vucevic 2021, Charles Barkley 1992, and Fat Lever 1988), the only WNBA player to do so ever.[3]

She also won gold medals for Team USA at the 2022 FIBA World Cup and the 2024 Summer Olympics.
