New York Giants' Andrew Thomas 'getting better' as regular season nears
One of the big questions this summer for the New York Giants is whether All-Pro left tackle Andrew Thomas will be ready for the regular season opener on September 7 at Washington. Thomas was limited to just six games last season before having season-ending surgery to address a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot. He is currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and has been doing light individual drills at training camp. With just eight practices scheduled between now and the beginning of the season, time is of the essence to get Thomas up to speed. On Sunday, during his Zoom conference with reporters, head coach Brian Daboll was asked if there is any chance Thomas would get on the practice field this week. "Getting better, so we'll take it day by day and see where we're at," Daboll said. "Each day he gets a little bit better, so we'll make that decision when we think it's best for us and him. . . He's on his rehab schedule and he's working hard to get back as quickly as he can." Thomas would have to come off PUP when the Giants set their 53-man roster at the August 26 deadline or spend the first six regular-season games on the sidelines. It's likely not going to come to that, but if they do add him to the active roster, they can ease him back in now that they have a viable backup plan. Rookie Marcus Mbow and veterans James Hudson III and Stone Forsythe are all new additions and upgrades from last season.

SEATTLE (AP) — Alyssa Thomas had 19 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for her 16th career triple-double in the regular season, and the Phoenix Mercury beat the Seattle Storm 85-82 on Sunday. Thomas has five of the 10 triple-doubles in the WNBA this season and 20 of the 53 (counting regular season and playoffs) in league history. Kahleah Copper scored 17 points and Sami Whitcomb added 15 for Phoenix (20-13). Satou Sabally had 11 points and 10 rebounds, and DeWanna Bonner scored 10 points. Nneka Ogwumike led Seattle (17-18) with 24 points and Skylar Diggins scored 14. Gabby Williams had 13 points and seven assists, and Erica Wheeler added 11 points. Ogwumike poked the ball away from Whitcomb and made a follow shot moments later to tie it at 75-all with 3:57 left in the game — the first tie since 2-2. Wheeler hit a 3-pointer with 2:20 remaining that gave the Storm their first lead of the game. Thomas slipped a pass to Copper for a wide-open layup, Copper added a driving layup and Thomas hit a short jumper to make it 83-78 with 21 seconds to play. Diggins had two assists and moved into a tie with Becky Hammon for seventh in WNBA history with 1,708 career assists. Phoenix is 9-0 when at least five players score in double figures this season and is 17-1 when leading going into the fourth quarter. Sue Bird, who helped the Storm win four championships and had a WNBA-record 3,234 assists, had a statue in her likeness unveiled outside of Climate Pledge Arena before the game. The franchise's career leading scorer with 6,803 points, Bird is the first player to have a statue dedicated to her by a WNBA franchise. The Mercury play Tuesday at Golden State. The Storm travels to Chicago to play the Sky on Tuesday.
