The first-place Connecticut Sun of the WNBA agreed to a hardship contract with second year-pro and former Maryland women’s basketball player Stephanie Jones.
Jones appeared in two games this season with the Washington Mystics, then subsequently was waived on May 12.
The former Maryland women’s basketball star enjoyed a decorated career in College Park from 2016-20. Jones earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors twice, while posting the third-best career field goal percentage in program history with 59.4%.
During her senior season in 2017, she led Maryland to its third consecutive Big Ten title.
Her sister, Brionna, had an outstanding career for Maryland head coach Brenda Frese as well.
