JJ Quinerly

Quinerly is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026 season. The rookie guard closed the regular season with averages of 6.5 points, 2.3 assists, 1.9 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 15.9 minutes per game over 34 appearances. Quinerly will be looking to take another step forward next year.

Quinerly sustained the injury in Wednesday's loss to the Sparks and will now focus on her recovery ahead of the 2026 campaign. The West Virginia product started 13 of her 34 regular-season appearances and will finish her rookie season with averages of 6.5 points, 2.3 assists, 1.9 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.6 three-pointers across 15.9 minutes per game, shooting 42.6 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from beyond the arc. Aziaha James (ankle), Haley Jones and Grace Berger are candidates to see a slight bump in minutes due to Quinerly being sidelined.

Quinerly will miss her second consecutive game due to a left knee injury, which she sustained in Wednesday's loss to the Sparks. Her next chance to play will come next Wednesday against the Sun. Aziaha James (ankle), Grace Berger and Haley Jones are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Arike Ogunbowale (knee) and Quinerly being sidelined.

Quinerly exited Wednesday's matchup with the Sparks due to a left knee injury and will be held out Friday. The rookie's next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Valkyries, while Aziaha James could see an expanded role off the bench due to Quinerly and Arike Ogunbowale (knee) being sidelined.

Quinerly sustained the injury during the fourth quarter and couldn't put any weight on her left leg, so it's not surprising to see her ruled out for the rest of the contest. She'll finish with five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 18 minutes. Grace Berger and Aziaha James could see an uptick in minutes with Quinerly sidelined. Her next chance to play will come against the Storm on Friday.
