Atlanta Dream center Brionna Jones will miss the remainder of the WNBA season due to a left leg injury sustained against the Connecticut Sun on August 13. Jones had previously missed six games and returned after undergoing surgery for a meniscus injury in January. In her limited appearances this season, she averaged 8.2 points and 5.6 rebounds. The team expects her to make a full recovery. Her absence leaves a gap in the Dream's lineup as the playoffs approach, though Angel Reese, Naz Hillmon, and DeWanna Bonner are set to fill the frontcourt roles.
