Jones is in the final year of her contract with the Sun who also brought in new Head Coach Stephanie White. The 6 foot 6 forward/center personally requested a trade to New York after averaging 14.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game.

The 4 time all-star now teams up with Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty have also made multiple attempts at Free Agent Breanna Stewart who is a 2 time finals MVP. The New York Liberty are still looking for their fifth championship appearance in franchise history and their first since 2002 along with their first title.
