Sam Thomas won’t have to travel far to pursue her goal of competing for a WNBA roster spot.
The former Arizona women’s basketball star has signed a training camp contract with the Phoenix Mercury.
Thomas was not selected in Monday night’s WNBA Draft. Phoenix had two 3rd-round picks and decided to opt for size with both selections, drafting Notre Dame power forward Maya Dodson 26th overall and IUPUI center Macee Williams at No. 32.
The Mercury typically hold training camp in mid- to late April.
