Four-time WNBA All-Star forward Brionna Jones sustained a torn meniscus last week while playing overseas but her agent told ESPN she is expected to return in time for the WNBA season.
Agent Boris Lelchitski also told the network that Jones will undergo surgery this weekend in the United States and miss the remainder of the season with the Czech-based club USK Praha.
Jones, 30, averaged 12.8 points and 7.3 rebounds in 44 games (all starts) last season with the Atlanta Dream. She is a free agent this offseason.
Jones spent her previous eight seasons with the Connecticut Sun, earning Most Improved Player and Sixth Player of the Year honors in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
She has averaged 10.5 points and 5.1 boards in 263 career games (157 starts) with the Sun and Dream since being selected by Connecticut with the eighth overall pick of the 2017 WNBA Draft.
