UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Alyssa Thomas and Stephanie White said racist and homophobic comments directed at WNBA players need to stop. The Connecticut Sun star and coach commented after their team finished off a sweep of the Indiana Fever in the opening round of the playoffs Wednesday night.

Before the Connecticut Sun’s playoff game against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever, the Sun’s Dijonai Carrington shared an abusive message she’d received.

"I think that in my 11-year career I never experienced the racial comments like from the Indiana Fever fan base," Thomas said.
