Dallas Wings sign former college superstar to help Paige Bueckers amid injury troubles image

The Dallas Wings are going through it right now with injuries.

At least Paige Bueckers is back, but they still need some reinforcements.

On Wednesday, they got one. The Wings have signed Haley Jones, according to Melissa Triebwasser. It's not just a hardship contract, but rather a rest-of-season deal.

The former Stanford great was just with the Wings last month on a hardship deal. She played well, too, with an eight-point, seven-rebound outing in her last game before being released.

Now, she's back for the rest of the way.

Jones was the sixth overall pick in 2023 after being a do-everything great for the Cardinal.

She has now already played for the Dream, Mercury and Wings.

Jones has averaged 3.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists so far in her WNBA career.

Her outside shooting has been her downfall, at least on paper. 

But the versatile Jones can do pretty much everything else on a basketball court.

Maybe this rest-of-season run with the Wings will allow her to show off her full abilities.
