LAS VEGAS — Jonquel Jones had one goal in mind when she joined the New York Liberty: to prove her worth. After a foot injury slowed her transition into the team and off-court issues weighed on her mind, Jones struggled to find her rhythm. However, with the support of her teammates and her determination to overcome adversity, she finally began to show her true potential. In the post-all-star break, Jones returned to form, averaging double-digit points and rebounds and consistently recording double-doubles. In the playoffs, she has continued to shine with her dominant performances. Although the Liberty lost Game 1 of the finals, there is no doubt that Jones will continue to play a crucial role in their success. Her size, strength, and aggressive play make her a force to be reckoned with on the court. Despite the challenges and adjustments that came with her move to New York, Jones has embraced the opportunity and enjoyed the city’s offerings. With the support of her fiancée and close friendships with her teammates, she has found the strength to overcome the hardships. As the finals continue, all eyes will be on Jones, as her performance often determines the outcome for the Liberty. Her star power and contributions to the team should not be overlooked. Without her, they would not be where they are today.
