Former WNBA All-Star Jasmine Thomas retires after 13 seasons, multiple Finals appearances
Thomas made five WNBA All-Defensive Teams during her career
By Jack Maloney • 2 min readVeteran point guard Jasmine Thomas announced her retirement from the WNBA on Thursday, bringing her 13-year career to a close. The former All-Star, who played for the Washington Mystics, Atlanta Dream, Connecticut Sun, and Los Angeles Sparks, broke the news herself in a statement on social media.
"Came a long way from the 9-year-old girl that picked up basketball for fun to make friends," Thomas wrote. "I feel so blessed to have had such a long and successful career on the court. I'm grateful for how my journey has shaped me as a person, I wouldn't change it for anything. To my family, friends, teammates, coaches, staff, venue personnel, and fans around the world — thank you for being a huge part of an incredible experience of a lifetime."
What a time!

After a successful collegiate career at Duke, Thomas was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2011 WNBA Draft. Though she was drafted by the Seattle Storm, she was traded to the Mystics before her rookie season began. Thomas spent two seasons with the Mystics before she was traded again, this time to the Dream.
In Atlanta, she got the first taste of playoff disappointment that would unfortunately come to characterize her career when the Dream made it to the 2013 WNBA Finals only to get swept by the Minnesota Lynx.
