HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut Sun forward Brionna Jones has been named the 2022 WNBA Sixth Player of the Year, the league announced Thursday.
This is the second season in a row Jones has won a performance award from the league. She earned WNBA Most Improved Player of the Year honors in 2021.
Jones established herself as a WNBA All-Star in that 2021 season, which was her second in a starting role. But with fellow Sun forward Alyssa Thomas back from injury and reigning MVP Jonquel Jones available as well, she was asked to come off the bench. She did so gracefully, putting the team before herself while still making just as big of an impact for the team.
