Jonquel Jones Shares Her Love for Love Island While Recovering from Injury
When Jonquel Jones isn’t dominating the court or making game-changing plays, she’s watching reality TV. The New York Liberty forward has become a fan favorite not just for her basketball skills but also for her entertaining social media presence. With an ankle injury sidelining her, Jones has found a new way to stay engaged with the world—by diving into the drama of Love Island USA.
Since tweaking her ankle in late June, Jones has been forced to watch her team from the sidelines as the Liberty navigates a challenging schedule. Despite this, her influence on and off the court remains strong. The team recently dropped to No. 3 in ESPN’s WNBA power rankings, but fans are still tuning in for Jones’ unique perspective.
A Full-Game Experience from the Couch
Jones isn’t just passively watching Love Island—she’s fully immersed in it. She’s been sharing real-time reactions on X, offering her thoughts on the cast members, the drama, and the twists. From expressing heartbreak over Olandria’s elimination to giving her honest take on Ace, her tweets have been both witty and unfiltered.

But this week, she took her fandom to the next level. In a tweet directed at Peacock and Love Island USA, she wrote, “Oh I haveeee to be at the reunion!! @peacock @loveislandusa.” Whether or not she actually gets a seat at the event is unclear, but her message has definitely made an impact. Producers might want to keep an eye on her, as her presence could add even more excitement to the show.
With the WNBA All-Star break now underway, Jones has even more time to catch up on her favorite reality series. Although she won’t be suiting up in Indianapolis, she’s handling her absence with grace. She praised this year’s All-Star selections, specifically highlighting her former teammate Kayla Thornton for her first appearance.
“Everybody that made it this year deserves to be an All-Star,” Jones said. She also voiced concerns about the voting process, noting, “The 50 percent fan vote is crazy, in my opinion… you have to be careful not to turn a career accolade into a popularity contest.”
What’s Next for Jones?
As for whether she’ll tune in to the All-Star Game, Jones isn’t sure. “I may be on a boat somewhere,” she said. “If I’m home and sitting around the TV, of course, I’ll turn it on. But if I’m out doing something, I don’t know.”
Whatever her plans are, one thing is certain: if she’s near a screen, she’s likely watching Love Island. Her enthusiasm for the show shows how she’s using her downtime to stay connected with fans and engage with content beyond basketball.
While her return to the court is still uncertain, Jones continues to make her mark in unexpected ways. Whether she’s dropping dimes on the court or sharing her takes on reality TV, she’s proving that her influence extends far beyond the game.
