Huge congrats to Jonquel Jones on her @ConnecticutSun Legend Induction 👏 https://t.co/db5NCu1XL1

What happened: Jonquel Jones was honored as a Connecticut Sun Legend, with the New York Liberty publicly congratulating her on the induction. The center came up with the Sun before her move to New York, and the franchise is now enshrining her name among its all-time greats.

Why it matters: The honor cements Jones as one of the most accomplished players in Connecticut history, recognizing years of production before she became a cornerstone for the Liberty. It is a rare cross-franchise tribute, with her current team saluting the legacy she built with a former one. This is the same Jonquel Jones who recently joined rare Liberty company with a 20-15 double-double.

What to watch: Watch how Jones and the Liberty navigate the rest of their Commissioner's Cup schedule against Connecticut and the field.
