Scores 14 in loss Jones finished with 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Sunday's 91-76 loss to the Wings.

Impact Jones scored in double figures for the fifth time in six games, though it wasn't nearly enough as the Liberty suffered a double-digit defeat. After recording 12 double-doubles across 31 regular-season games in 2025, the center has yet to accomplish the feat in 2026, as she hasn't recorded double-digit rebounds in a contest. Across her six appearances, Jones is averaging 12.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.7 minutes per game.

Impact Jones did a decent job shooting, but she is still searching for her first double-double of the season. She has notched at least seven rebounds in each of her past four games, and she has totaled exactly three assists in three consecutive contests. She continues to keep her turnovers to a minimum, while posting healthy point and rebounding totals, which is very pleasing to fantasy managers.
