Impact Jones has had stints with the Dream, Mercury and Wings over the past three seasons. Across 108 career appearances, she holds averages of 4.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks in 21.2 minutes.

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.

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.

Short-handed Dallas Wings fall to Atlanta Dream 100-78

AUGUST 29, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

Provides full stat line in loss Jones recorded 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 18 minutes during Sunday's 90-81 loss to Golden State.

Impact Jones tied her season-high scoring output, and she paced the club in swats while supplying a full stat line. She's started 12 consecutive outings for the injury-plagued Wings, with Jones averaging 7.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.7 blocks in 22.4 minutes per game as part of the first unit.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in blowout loss Jones posted seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Sunday's 106-87 loss to the Aces.

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.

AUGUST 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ineffective from field in win Jones closed Tuesday's 81-80 victory over the Fever with five points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes.

AUGUST 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down four rebounds on Sunday Jones ended with 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes in Sunday's 91-78 loss against the Mystics.

Impact Jones has struggled shooting the ball in four games in August, hitting 35.3 percent (12-34 FG). She is still averaging a respectable 8.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks per game in four outings in the month.

AUGUST 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Sees big workload in loss Jones notched 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 85-76 loss to New York.

Impact For the third time out of her last five games, Jones eclipsed 30 minutes for the Wings. And now with DiJonai Carrington in Minnesota, Jones' workload could be locked in going forward. Over her last five games, Jones holds averages of 10.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 blocks per game.
