The New York Liberty suffered an injury to a key player Tuesday night in the midst of a heated playoff race.
All-Star center Jonquel Jones left the court with a left ankle injury in the first quarter against the Chicago Sky and did not return to the game. The Liberty initially ruled her as questionable after she went to the locker room, but they ruled her out for the game shortly after halftime.
Jones sustained the injury when she tripped over Dijonai Carrington while backing into the post. Carrington kneed Jones in her lower-left leg and was called for a foul on the play. Jones immediately grabbed her leg in pain after falling to the floor.
The game was tied at 16-16 at the time of Jones' injury.
The injury left the Liberty without their top post player for the remainder of the game. They're certainly hoping that it doesn't sideline her for longer with New York in the midst of a tight battle for playoff positioning.
