Connecticut Sun forward Asjha Jones will miss two weeks to rest her ailing left Achilles tendon. Jones, who has missed just six of 259 games since entering the WNBA in 2002, is Connecticut's leading scorer (16.7 points per game) and is second in rebounding and assists.

The top candidates to replace Jones (Amber Holt, Tamika Whitmore, Kerry Gardin and Chante Black) have all started at least one game for Connecticut this season.


Jones' former UConn teammate Diana Taurasi, who averaged 25 points, 4 assists and 3.5 rebounds for the Phoenix Mercury, was named the WNBA's Western Conference Player of the Week.
