Impact Jones had a tumultuous 2025 campaign, as she was waived by the Dream ahead of the regular season before being picked up by Phoenix. She had a limited role over four appearances with the Mercury but saw increased production after joining the Wings. Over 24 appearances (16 starts) with Dallas, she averaged 8.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals in 22.8 minutes per game, all of which were career-best marks. She's slated to become a reserved free agent during the offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Wings express interest in bringing her back for the 2026 campaign.

Impact After missing the last two games due to a right knee issue, Jones is trending toward making her return to the floor. The 24-year-old was initially ruled out for Thursday's game, but that's no longer the case, as she'll have a chance to play. In 21 games with Dallas this season, she has averaged 7.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 45.3 percent from the floor and 32.3 percent from beyond the arc.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Valkyries, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Jones will miss a third straight contest due to a right knee injury. With the Wings battling through plenty of injuries, look for Maddy Siegrist, Myisha Hines-Allen (illness), Amy Okonkwo and Diamond Miller to handle most of the frontcourt work. Recently signed Ajae Petty could also see some action while on a hardship contract. Jones' next chance to play will come Sunday at Los Angeles.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Monday Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lynx.

Impact Jones will miss her second consecutive game due to a right knee injury, and her next opportunity to suit up will be Thursday against Golden State. With the 24-year-old sidelined and Aziaha James (ankle) listed as doubtful, Diamond Miller, Christyn Williams and Serena Sundell are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Out Friday Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dream.

Impact As expected, Jones and Aziaha James (ankle) have been downgraded from doubtful to out. However, Paige Bueckers (illness) will give it a go after being listed as questionable. With Jones and James sidelined, Myisha Hines-Allen and Diamond Miller are likely candidates to enter the starting lineup, while Serena Sundell and Christyn Williams should be part of the reserve rotation after recently joining the team.

AUGUST 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play vs. Dream Jones (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Dream.

Impact It's unclear when Jones picked up the right knee injury, but she's likely to miss her first game since June 27. More playing time should be available for Grace Berger and Maddy Siegrist on Friday, while Diamond Miller is also likely to take on extra minutes.

Impact Jones made her ninth start of the season Sunday, but she wasn't able to make a big impact in the box score. The 24-year-old forward has averaged 7.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals in 23.6 minutes per game as a starter this season, so she hasn't seen a considerable boost in fantasy appeal with the first unit.

Impact Jones moved into the starting unit Monday, and while this wasn't her best performance, she's been terrific for Dallas and certainly earned this chance. Through nine appearances with the Wings, Jones is averaging 8.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 20.9 minutes per game.

JULY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moved into starting lineup Jones is in the Wings' starting lineup against the Liberty on Monday, Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Jones has come off the bench in her first eight games with the Wings, but she'll be in the starting five Monday while DiJonai Carrington comes off the bench.
