New York Liberty center Jonquel Jones, a two-time WNBA MVP and 2024 Finals MVP, has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain that will keep her out of action for four to six weeks. The team revealed the injury after additional imaging and evaluation confirmed that there is no indication of long-term damage. Jones is expected to return to full strength once the recovery period is complete, though her absence will likely impact the team’s performance during this timeframe.
