Former Stanford star Haley Jones made her long-anticipated transition to the next level on Monday after being selected No. 6 by the Dream in the 2023 WNBA draft. But, in the middle of her big night, Jones received a hilarious shout-out on Twitter from one pretty important person she apparently left on read: her new coach.
On a night when Jones was likely bombarded by calls and messages, Dream coach Tanisha Wright took to social media to ask her new rookie to pick up her phone so she could congratulate and welcome her to the team. Clearly, Wright, who’s entering her second season in Atlanta, had a little trouble getting through to Jones as evidenced by her not-so-subtle hashtag.
“Hey Girl!! Just trying to reach ya to congratulate ya on coming to the A! #PickUpYourPhone @haleyjoness19,“ Wright wrote.
