Not playing Saturday Jones (shoulder) won't play Saturday against Arizona State, according to Bill Riley of ESPN.

Impact Jones continues to improve but he's not ready to play yet, and that means he will miss a second straight contest -- while also failing to play in six of Utah's last eight games. He hasn't started a game since Feb. 4, when he scored just three points across 28 minutes against Arizona.

Will miss Wednesday Jones (shoulder) won't take the floor during Wednesday's game against Oregon State, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Jones reinjured his right shoulder during the team's last contest versus USC after appearing for only two minutes. Unfortunately, the issue is bad enough to prevent him from taking the court Thursday. Without him available again Wednesday, look for Pelle Larsson to see most of the time on the ball.

Status unclear moving forward Head coach Larry Kryskowiak said after Saturday's 71-61 win over USC that he doesn't know the extent of Jones' shoulder injury but he thinks it's a little different from the one he...

Impact Jones suffered yet another shoulder injury while diving for a loose ball early on in Saturday's game. He went back to the locker room and later returned to the bench with his right arm in a sling. The 6-0 sophomore missed four games earlier in the month due to a different shoulder injury and it seems like he'll be forced to miss some more time once again. Alfonso Plummer should continue to maintain a starting role while Jones is out.

Leaves with shoulder issue Jones exited Saturday's game against USC with an apparent right shoulder injury, Josh Furlong of KSL.com reports.

Impact The sophomore guard picked up a foul but had no other stats before heading to the locker room during the first half. Jones suffered the injury diving for a loose ball and hasn't returned for the start of the second half, so it seems unlikely he retakes the court Saturday.

Dishes out seven assists in return Jones (shoulder) notched a rebound, seven assists and a steal over 17 minutes Thursday versus UCLA.

Impact Jones wasn't really in the shooting mood Thursday, attempting just one shot over his 17 minutes of action, but he did manage to feed his teammates with relative ease. Assuming the sophomore avoided setbacks in the contest, there's a good chance he will rejoin the starting lineup in the near future.

Participating in early warmups Jones (shoulder) is taking part in early warmups ahead of Thursday's game against UCLA, Bill Riley of ESPN 700 reports.

Impact Jones has missed each of the last four games while recovering from a shoulder issue but appears to be in a much more promising spot leading up to Thursday's contest. Confirmation of his status could come before the opening tip.

FEBRUARY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to miss Thursday Jones (arm) will likely miss Thursday's game against UCLA, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Coach Larry Krystkowiak stated that the guard is improving physically with his injury but won't likely play during the Utes' next game. The sophomore has been sidelined since Feb. 11 against California.

FEBRUARY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missing more time Jones (arm) won't be available for Thursday's game against Oregon State, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Jones will miss his third straight contest with the arm issue, as he's still without a clear timetable for a return. The sophomore has been a decent contributor this season, averaging 4.9 points, 4.1 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 15 games. Alfonso Plummer is expected to handle another start at point guard with Jones sidelined.

Out Saturday Jones (arm) won't play Saturday against Stanford, Bill Riley of ESPN 700 reports.

Impact The sophomore guard's status was up in the air for Saturday's contest, but he remains in street clothes and a sling as he'll miss his second consecutive contest. Jones will have a few extra days to recover before the next game Thursday at Oregon State. Alfonso Plummer could receive another start at the point for Utah in his absence.

FEBRUARY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status for Saturday TBD Coach Larry Krystkowiak was unwilling to conjure a guess as to whether or not Jones (arm) will play Saturday versus Stanford when asked Friday, Jay Drew of Deseret News reports.

Impact Jones had his arm in a sling prior to Thursday's game, which doesn't typically bode well in terms of his chances of taking the floor. However, Krstskowiak noted that Jones gutted it out through injuries last season, so he wasn't willing to rule out Jones just yet. Confirmation of his status should surface on game day.

FEBRUARY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in sling, out Thursday Jones suffered an injury during practice and has his arm in a sling ahead of Thursday's game against California, indicating he will miss the contest, Bill Riley of ESPN 700 reports...

Impact Jones has been the director of the Utes' offense this season in terms of dishing the ball, so his absence will certainly be a detriment to the smooth flow. Without him available, look for Pelle Larsson to see more time running point and for Alfonso Plummer to presumably rejoin the starting lineup and gain some minutes.
