Undergoes minor ankle surgery Jones underwent surgery to correct instability in her right ankle Monday, Jackie Powell of The IX Basketball reports.
Impact Jones missed some time due to a right ankle sprain during the 2025 campaign, and she struggled down the stretch, averaging just 6.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 26.3 minutes per game over her final eight appearances between the regular season and playoffs.

Despite Jones' surgery, she's still expected to play for Turkish club Fenerbahce during the offseason.
