Jonquel Jones had her number 35 retired by the Connecticut Sun in a heartfelt ceremony before their game against the Liberty, where she received a standing ovation despite missing the game due to illness. A six-year Sun staple who won MVP in 2021 and led them to two Finals, Jones was drafted in 2016 and became a franchise cornerstone, ranking elite in games played, points, blocks, and rebounds. Her trade to New York in 2023 marked a new chapter, but her legacy with Connecticut remains unmatched. Now in the rafters alongside legends like Margo Dydek and Katie Douglas, Jones was praised by Sun president Jen Rizzotti as one of the greatest in franchise history. The team will honor six former players and coaches this season, including Jasmine Thomas, Alyssa Thomas, Tina Charles, Curt Miller, and Mike Thibault.
