been a bright spot following a sluggish start to the season as she came back from a nagging foot injury.

In their most recent drubbing, the Storm fell to the Liberty 86-82 at the Barclays Center.

Jones had 13 points along with a game and season-high 17 boards, making it her third consecutive double-double in the last three games.

Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu complemented the Bahamian’s efforts in the win, notching her fourth career triple double. She poured in 12 points and had identical numbers in rebounds and assists.

The Liberty got their second win of the last three games once again at Barclays, this time against the Fever. The 6-16 Eastern Conference team were no match for the hot New York team who delivered an 18-point defeat (10183) to their opponents.

Jones notched a doubledouble once again, putting up 18 points to pair with 11 boards and one block in the bout. The professional player’s best game of the stretch came against the Mystics. Jones was dominant in the 96-87 win. The former WNBA MVP stuffed the stat sheet with a season-high 27 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. She is currently averaging her second lowest scoring average with 11.5, the lowest since her rookie season with the Connecticut Sun. However, after seemingly hitting her stride at the right time for the Liberty in recent games, Jones will look to keep the momentum going in the second half of the WNBA season.
