New York Liberty star center Jonquel Jones exited the team's game against the Phoenix Mercury Thursday with a right ankle injury after an awkward landing on a drive to the hoop. She was fouled on the play but couldn't shoot her free throws, ending her night early in the second quarter.
The Liberty officially ruled Jones out quickly after her exit with a right ankle injury. Jones initially grabbed her knee in pain after she went down following contact from Mercury guard Sami Whitcomb on a layin attempt. She was helped off the floor after the scary play, leaving the team's official ruling of an ankle injury a slight sigh of relief that it wasn't a knee.
