Jones had a case to be an All-Star starter, averaging 15.6 points and 11.3 rebounds in the first six games before spraining her right ankle. She’s been limited to just nine games, and while there’s not a required minimum games played to be named an All-Star, it seems unlikely considering the circumstances.

It looked like that would continue early in the first half of Thursday night’s home game against Los Angeles. Then a third-quarter tsunami occurred. After trailing by 11 with 6:07 left in the third, the Liberty scored the next 13 points to take the lead.
