It was Alyssa Thomas who was directly involved in the play where Napheesa Collier was injured in the WNBA semifinals last season; Collier appeared to twist her ankle after being knocked down following a steal by Thomas.

What happened

Collier’s injury came late in Game 3 against the Phoenix Mercury, and reports described it as an ankle injury that kept her out for Game 4.

Important nuance

That doesn’t necessarily mean Thomas “caused” the injury in a malicious sense — it was part of a live basketball play.

If you want, I can also give you the exact game context and what the broadcasters/reporters said about the play.
