The Atlanta Dream has something to worry about. Shortly after acquiring superstar WNBA league player Angel Reese and re-signing 2022 WNBA Sixth Player of the Year Brionna Jones, reports indicate Jones has had knee surgery, potentially making her unavailable for the start of the season, which begins Friday, May 8, 2026.
While the team has not indicated if Jones will miss time, the news is a potential blow to the franchise, which hopes to establish a more stout front line with Jones and Reese.
Jones suffered a meniscus tear in late January while playing for a team in The Czech Republic. The Dream did not tell media if the surgery was related to the meniscus tear or was the result of a new injury.
Jones, 30, averaged 12.8 points and 7.3 rebounds with 12 double-doubles last year in her first season with the Dream after playing her first eight with Connecticut.
