Following their draft night trade to acquire guard Anna Cruz from the New York Liberty, the Lynx have made another trade for a veteran. The Lynx will send a 2016 2nd round draft pick to the Connecticut Sun for the negotiating rights to 34 year old power forward and two time WNBA All-Star Ashja Jones.
Jones spent two seasons with the Washington Mystics after being drafted in the first round of the 2002 WNBA draft. She was traded to Connecticut in 2004, and has spent the last decade a member of that franchise. She has missed the last two seasons, however, due to injury.
