The Connecticut Sun were one quarter away from lifting their first championship trophy last fall, but will now go into the 2020 single-site season without their leading scorer.
Jonquel Jones announced she will opt out of the season that begins next month at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, due to concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic. Jones, who has been at home in the Bahamas, is the first WNBA player to publicly announce for that reason. Atlanta Dream star Renee Montgomery announced last week she would skip the season, but for social justice work.
