US EditionLiberty Center Jonquel Jones Out 4-6 Weeks with Sprained Ankle
- Jonquel Jones, New York Liberty center, sprained her right ankle again during Thursday's loss to the Phoenix Mercury and will miss four to six weeks.
- Jones had previously sprained the same ankle on June 5 against the Washington Mystics, causing her to miss almost two weeks before returning for two games.
- The Liberty have a 10-2 record, ranking second in the WNBA, but struggled in the recent loss with 20 turnovers and being outrebounded 42-32 after Jones left.
- The team statement said Jones avoided long-term injury and projected she will return in four to six weeks, with coach Sandy Brondello criticizing the team's first-half performance.
- Jones's absence creates a challenge as the Liberty begin a four-game road trip starting Sunday in Seattle, where Nyara Sabally is expected to start and Isabelle Harrison will be relied upon more.
