Haley Jones has been waived by the Phoenix Mercury just days after being signed to a hardship contract following her release from the Atlanta Dream. Selected sixth overall in the 2023 WNBA Draft, Jones played only four games with the Mercury, averaging 2.3 points, as the team navigated injuries to key players. As an unrestricted free agent again, Jones’ struggles reflect the challenges of maintaining a spot in the WNBA, especially amid the Mercury’s injury-riddled start to the season, currently at 6-4.
