Starting Sunday Jones is starting Sunday's game against Butler, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Has season best in loss Jones finished with 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and two steals through 26 minutes in the 93-84 loss to Xavier on Tuesday.
Impact Jones by far had his season best in the win Tuesday. The guard has started the majority of the season, but has been sent back to the bench after not producing within the starting rotation. He set a season-high in points (20) and tied his season-high in rebounds (6). He also was fantastic from the floor. Jones is a fantastic option if he can continue this newly found form.

Five points in return to court Jones recorded five points (0-2 FG, 5-8 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 80-72 loss to Connecticut.
Impact While Jones was back from COVID-19 protocol and suited up for the Musketeers for the first time since Jan. 10, it appears the freshman still had a bit of rust to shake off. He'll seemingly have to earn back the starting spot he appeared to lock down prior to the team's shutdown.

Will play Saturday Jones (not injury related) will play Saturday against Connecticut, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Jones averages 6.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, so he should provide a decent boost to Xavier's lineup. He was coming off five straight starts and might return to that role once again.

Starting Sunday Jones will make his first career start in Sunday's game against Marquette, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Jones will be inserted into the Musketeers' starting five with Dwon Odom (not injury related) unavailable as he's still in the team's COVID-19 protocol. Jones missed the start of the season due a foot injury but returned earlier this month and has averaged four points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 19 minutes per game. There is no firm timetable for Odom's return so Jones could see himself remain in the starting lineup for the near future.

Will be available Sunday Jones (not injury related) will be available for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact The Musketeers will get reinforcements for the Crosstown Shootout, as C.J. Wilcher, Spencer Cody and Jones have been released from their quarantine spell due to COVID-19 contact tracing and, as a result, all three players will be available for Sunday's matchup. He's expected to play a depth role on the wing, meaning he is quite likely to make his first appearance for Xavier off the bench.

Unavailable for opener Jones will be unavailable for Xavier's season opener Wednesday against Oakland, as he is quarantining due to contact tracing, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Jones was dealing with a foot injury recently, but he'll be unavailable to make his college debut Wednesday. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the Musketeers' games Thursday and Friday. Once he returns to the team, he'll likely play a depth role on the wing during his freshman season.

Cleared for opener Xavier head coach Travis Steele said that Jones (foot) will be available for Wednesday's game against Oakland, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Jones was sporting a walking boot earlier this month and missed practices and scrimmages as a result, but the freshman looks like he'll be good to go in advance of the 2020-21 season opener. He'll likely be ticketed for a depth role on the wing for the Musketeers as he begins his collegiate career.
