MM 5.3: Former Terp, current Connecticut Sun player Alyssa Thomas’ return from injury captured by new documentary

Hard times never last, resilient people do.

A former Terp’s perseverance to recover from a major injury was on display for several fans to see.

Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas attended a red-carpet event last Thursday for the premiere of the short documentary “The Comeback.” The film, produced by the WNBA franchise, chronicles Thomas’ recovery from her torn Achilles tendon, which she sustained on Jan. 11, 2021, in the Czech Republic. The two-time WNBA All-Star suffered the injury towards the end of a practice with her overseas club, ZVVZ USK Praha.

The @ConnecticutSun are hosting a special event tonight to honor Alyssa Thomas.
