Deemed probable Wednesday Jones is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to a right thumb sprain.

Impact Jones likely picked up the injury sometime during the past few matchups. Although likely available to play, Jones may not see the court, as he has played in just one matchup since Nov. 18.

Cleared from injury report Jones (thumb) will be available Monday against Toronto.

Impact Jones sprained his thumb against Boston on Friday but was able to play through the issue during Sunday's loss to Toronto, in which he recorded three blocks in 16 minutes of action. Jones will be available for his usual role, but he doesn't hold much fantasy appeal in standard leagues.

Probable Monday Jones (thumb) is probable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Jones was also probable for Sunday's matchup against Toronto due to his right thumb sprain, but he was able to play through the issue. It seems likely that he'll be available once again for the second half of the back-to-back set.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially available Sunday Jones (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Jones was listed as probable ahead of Sunday's matchup, so it's fairly unsurprising that he'll be able to play through his right thumb sprain. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 5.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game.

Likely to play Sunday Jones is probable for Sunday's game versus the Raptors with a right thumb sprain.

Impact Jones has struggled to score efficiently for Chicago this season, shooting just 37.0 percent from the field. If he is unable to play Sunday, Javonte Green and Dalen Terry are in line for extended minutes off the bench.

Held scoreless in loss Jones produced two rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes during Friday's 123-119 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Jones played over 14 minutes Friday night but didn't record a single shot attempt. In the eight games he's seen the floor this season, he's averaging 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.8 assists off the bench for Chicago. The 25-year-old forward doesn't present a ton of fantasy value other than for the deepest of leagues.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Held scoreless in win Jones contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 win over the Pacers.

Impact Jones made his regular-season debut Saturday against Cleveland by playing 17 minutes, but his playing time has decreased over his last three appearances. He's been consistent on the boards but could not convert any field-goal attempts during Wednesday's victory. Jones is averaging 6.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game to begin the year.

Re-ups with Chicago for two years Jones signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract with the Bulls on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones held a consistent bench role for the Bulls last season, seeing 17.6 minutes per contest and averaging 5.6 points and 3.3 boards. He's elected to stick around in the Windy City for at least another couple of campaigns, where he should assume a similar role in 2022-23.

JULY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Jones (knee) is available for Wednesday's matchup with the Celtics.

Impact As expected, Jones is good to go for Wednesday's game against Boston despite him picking up some left knee soreness in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks. He's averaging 5.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game this season, but he could see a few less opportunities in Chicago's rotation with Zach LaVine (knee) back in the lineup.

Probable for Wednesday Jones is probable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to left knee soreness.

Impact Jones played 21 minutes -- his most since March 9 -- off the bench during Tuesday's loss to the Bucks and came away with a bit of knee soreness. However, the issue isn't expected to impact his availability for Wednesday, though he may fall out of the rotation with Zach LaVine (knee) expected to return to the starting lineup following a one-game absence.

Stuffs stat sheet in loss Jones closed Monday's 121-106 loss to the 76ers with eight points (4-6 FG), six rebounds, three blocks and two steals over 21 minutes.

Impact Jones racked up multiple steals and blocks for the third time this season. Jones has a valuable role off the Bulls bench, as no Chicago wing provides equivalent athleticism. His seven-foot wingspan can make Jones a lengthy defender in addition to his known dunking prowess. He infrequently logs more than 20-plus minutes per game, but per 36 minutes Jones averages 12.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.4 combined steals/blocks per game.

Playing Monday Jones (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Jones was considered probable with a sprained right foot, so it's hardly a surprise he'll be suiting up Monday. He had three points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes Saturday against the Thunder, which was his return from a 17-game absence due to a finger injury.

Likely available Monday Jones (foot) is probable for Monday's contest against the Spurs.

Impact Jones returned to action Saturday following a 17-game absence due to a finger injury. He played 23 minutes during the win over the Thunder, but he registered just three points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal. Jones also apparently picked a right foot sprain during the contest as well, however, he's still expected to suit up Monday.

Quiet in return Jones (finger) produced three points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes Saturday in the Bulls' 106-101 win over the Thunder.

Impact Jones made his return to action after he had missed the previous 17 games with a fractured right index finger. Prior to getting hurt, Jones had been serving as the Bulls' starting small forward, but Javonte Green had since taken over that role before he was ruled out ahead of Saturday's game with a sore foot. Troy Brown (zero points, 11 rebounds in 28 minutes) ended up getting the start Saturday, but with Green likely to remain out through the All-Star break, Jones could get the chance to rejoin the top unit for either or both of the Bulls' final two contests of the first half.

Upgraded to available Jones (finger) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder.

Impact Jones will make his return after being out with a broken finger since mid-January. It's possible his minutes are monitored in his first game back. In his 31 appearances, he's averaged 6.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 17.2 minutes.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Saturday Jones (finger) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder.

Impact We haven't heard much regarding Jones' recovery, but it's apparently gone well, and he could return as soon as Saturday. A broken finger has kept him out since mid-January. He would be a welcome addition to Chicago's thin rotation, which has been hit hard by injuries. In his 31 appearances, he's averaged 6.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 17.2 minutes.
