Overview
- Jones exited Tuesday’s game against the Chicago Sky after tripping over Dijonai Carrington on a first-quarter play and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
- The All-Star was averaging about 14.7 points and 9.4 rebounds this season and provides the Liberty with interior defense and perimeter shooting.
- Jones’s injury compounds an already thin frontcourt as Satou Sabally remains away to manage lingering concussion symptoms and Leonie Fiebich has been out for weeks.
- Coach Chris DeMarco said Jones will be evaluated in the coming days but the team has given no definitive timetable for her return.
- Breanna Stewart reached a franchise scoring milestone in the same game, and the Liberty now face immediate pressure in the standings with only a handful of regular-season games before the playoffs.
