New York Liberty's Jonquel Jones will be sidelined for four to six weeks due to a right ankle sprain sustained during a game against the Phoenix Mercury. Previously sprained, this latest injury may affect her availability for the upcoming WNBA All-Star weekend. Jones, who plays a crucial role as the league MVP and averages notable stats, witnessed her team's decline in play following her injury. The Liberty now prepare for a challenging road trip, addressing their recent loss and the need for a more aggressive gameplay.
The injury occurred at the 8:35 mark of the second quarter in Thursday night's 89-81 loss to the Phoenix Mercury, the club's first home loss of the season.
After further imaging and evaluation, Jonquel avoided long-term injury, the team said in a statement. But she's still facing a recovery that might take her WNBA All-Star weekend.
