Since the All-Star break, Jonquel Jones has returned to form and hopes to help position the Liberty to win the franchise's first WNBA championship.
Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said it took time for New York to figure out how all its new pieces fit together. But Jones, a 6-foot-6 Bahamian center, also struggled early to find her footing due in large part to, well, her foot.
Jonquel Jones helped New York sweep Washington in the first round. The Liberty are tied 1-1 with the Sun as the semifinals shift to Connecticut for two games. Before the All-Star break, Jones averaged 10.3 points and 6.1 rebounds in 22.6 minutes per game, all much lower numbers than she typically puts up.
The physical limitations started to impact the mental. Jones wanted to play well so badly that"I kind of took myself out of the game mentally," she said. She said she fell into negative self-talk, didn't look like herself on the floor and wasn't happy."You could definitely see it out there," she said.
"We've all believed that she was able to have this role and this big of a role on this team," said Ionescu, adding that Jones was a great teammate even while she was finding her way."That's why we really wanted her here and she really wanted to be here."
