One would think that losing four of the past five games and suffering defeats to two of the WNBA’s lowest-ranked teams would have the injury-plagued Liberty reeling. 

But Jonquel Jones would rather find the silver lining in the current situation than dwell on the difficulties.

The Liberty’s three frontcourt injuries — with Breanna Stewart, Nyara Sabally and Kennedy Burke all sidelined indefinitely — have put a heavier burden on Jones’ shoulders over the past 10 days, despite her only returning from a monthlong injury absence after the All-Star break. 

But Jones believes her larger role paired with the team’s grueling stretch of playing six games in those 10 days – with the final contest of this run being Tuesday night against the Wings — has expedited her reintegration process.
