2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones' production declined slightly during her first season with the Liberty in 2023, but she improved in 2024, averaging 14.2 points and 9.0 rebounds to go with a career-high 3.2 assists per game during the regular season, and she was named the WNBA Finals MVP after averaging 17.8 points and 7.6 rebounds in 36.6 minutes per game during the five-game series against the Lynx as New York took home its first championship. Leonie Fiebich emerged as a stronger contributor for the Liberty last season, but Jones proved in 2024 that she's still capable of providing elite fantasy production, even while playing alongside Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu.

Set for extended absence
The Liberty announced Saturday that Jones (ankle) is expected to miss four to six weeks.
ANALYSIS
Jones left Thursday's game early with what was first believed to be a knee issue, but it was later diagnosed as an aggravation of a right ankle sprain. The 31-year-old had already missed two games in June with the initial ankle injury and one in May due to a hamstring issue. Across nine appearances this season, she's averaging 12.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks. In her absence, the Liberty will likely turn to Nyara Sabally, Kennedy Burke and Isabelle Harrison for increased frontcourt responsibilities.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After six seasons with the Sun, including an MVP in 2021, Jones joined the revamped Liberty last offseason and had a slow first month with her new team. The slow start can be attributed to a foot injury, which caused her to operate on a minute limit. However, she appeared in 42 of the final 43 games, including postseason, and averaged 13.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks in 28.3 minutes during that stretch. Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu were the offensive focal points in New York, but Jones' consistent double-double production was a key piece of the Liberty's run to the WNBA Finals. In 2023, Jones attempted 8.4 shots per game, her fewest since 2018, but she still finished as a top-20 fantasy player. She was a perennial top-10 finisher with Connecticut, so it's accurate to say her production dropped during her first season in New York. However, she remains an elite and dependable fantasy option after re-signing with the Liberty this offseason.
