Overview

  • Jones sustained the meniscus tear in early February while playing overseas for USK Praha.
  • USK Praha said conservative treatment was tried for about 10 days before surgery was deemed necessary.
  • Her agent confirmed she will miss the rest of USK Praha’s season and returned to the United States for the operation.
  • Reports indicate she could be available by WNBA opening night, though her status will hinge on post-surgery rehab.
  • The four-time All-Star is a free agent this offseason following her 2025 stint with the Dream, with leaguewide signings shaped by pending CBA negotiations; she previously ruptured her Achilles in 2023.
