Coming Off of an Achilles Rupture, Know All About Brionna Jones Earning Her Spot on the Team WNBA for the 2024 All-Star Game
“I just wanted to prove that I could play here. I love playing in Connecticut (and) playing with this team, so I just wanted to prove that I belong here and that I could make an impact,” were Brionna Jones’ words ahead of the Florida Bubble in 2020 when Jonquel Jones told the Sun’s backup post player that she will not be joining them. And she delivered just that by becoming one of Sun’s most reliable players after De Wanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas.
Since her first All-Star season in 2021, Brionna Jones has been riding the wave of her impressive trajectory. Voted as the league’s Most Improved Player besides earning the Sixth Player of the Year Award and of course, her second All-Star selection in 2022. However, this wave did see some barriers last season.
In June last year, Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles rupture, and with it came a year-long recovery period. Before her injury, she didn’t play on the floor for more than an average of 25 minutes in the first 10 games of the season.
After the injury, Jones spent most of her recovery while serving as an assistant coach for the women’s basketball team at her alma mater, the University of Maryland. Although, she was away from the Sun, however, this way she was a part of a team atmosphere. “I’m really proud of her, because that injury is not easy to come back from, and she was always — from day one — ahead of schedule,” said Sun Coach Stephanie White.
