Asjha Jones, who led UConn to a pair of NCAA titles, won an Olympic gold medal, and is a former WNBA All-Star, might be playing for the Lynx this season.

The Lynx announced today they have acquired the 6-foot-3 center from the Connecticut Sun.

Jones played 11 seasons in the WNBA, including nine with the Sun, but missed the 2013 season because of injuries and sat out last year after rupturing her left Achilles' tendon.

Jones, 34, is a two-time WNBA All-Star (2007, 2009) and was all-league second team in 2008.

She was a gold medalist with the 2012 U.S. Olympic team and played during the past winter with Elitzur Ramla in Israel.

The WNBA and its players' union weren't able to agree to a new collective bargaining agreement by the Friday night deadline, and now the league enters a ''status-quo'' period with no new extension reached.
