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.

The six-foot-two forward has been playing overseas since 2014, with stops in Korea and Turkey.
Thomas was thrilled with the documentary and is looking forward to fans seeing a different side of the talented athlete.
“A lot of people have injuries — some like this — and it is a hard process,” Thomas said, via The Hartford Courant. “You are at your lowest point, which you will see in this video. I definitely talk about being at a low point and, you know, it’s there are brighter days and it’s important for people to know that you just got to ride out the wave and have a great team behind you.”
The documentary was directed by Grant Livingston and will be released to the public at a later date.
Players, coaches, and members of the organization attended the special event at Novelle in Montville, Connecticut.
