Specifics of the deal are not yet known. It will be made official after Saturday, when contracts across the league are allowed to be signed.

The Phoenix Mercury were finalizing a deal to acquire Alyssa Thomas from the Connecticut Sun, a person familiar with the trade told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.

Thomas was cored by the franchise earlier this month, meaning that her only way out of Connecticut was via a sign-and-trade that she had to approve. The move won’t be official until Feb. 1, and who the Sun will acquire in the trade has yet to be disclosed.
