What began as a celebration ahead of one of the NBA’s most anticipated offseason weddings has become a period of mourning for Tyrese Haliburton’s fiancée, Jade Jones. More than a week after her longtime friend Makenzi Kern died unexpectedly during a bachelorette trip in St. Barts, Jones shared her first public comments, remembering the 26-year-old as a constant source of joy whose absence will be felt long after the wedding festivities end.
