One would think that losing four of the past five games and suffering defeats to two of the WNBA\u2019s lowest-ranked teams would have the injury-plagued Liberty reeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Jonquel Jones would rather find the silver lining in the current situation than dwell on the difficulties.<\/p>\n
The Liberty\u2019s three frontcourt injuries \u2014 with Breanna Stewart, Nyara Sabally and Kennedy Burke all sidelined indefinitely \u2014 have put a heavier burden on Jones\u2019 shoulders over the past 10 days, despite her only returning from a monthlong injury absence after the All-Star break.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Jones believes her larger role paired with the team\u2019s grueling stretch of playing six games in those 10 days \u2013 with the final contest of this run being Tuesday night against the Wings \u2014 has expedited her reintegration process.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One would think that losing four of the past five games and suffering defeats to two of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[14400,436,99,358,434],"class_list":["post-61403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-jonquel-jones","tag-new-york-liberty","tag-sports","tag-sports-plus","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
