Impact Jones has logged a single minute of action with Detroit at the NBA level this season, so this move to get him more live reps makes a lot of sense.

Claimed by Pistons The Pistons have claimed Jones off waivers Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Jones was waived by the Kings on Tuesday, but he didn't spend too much time as a free agent since the Pistons scooped him up. The big man will occupy Detroit's 15th roster spot and should add depth in the frontcourt, but he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside.

Limited run in season debut Jones (illness) recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes in Friday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.
Impact Jones sat out Wednesday's season-opening four-point loss to the Suns while recovering from an illness, but the second-year big man received the green light for the second game of the campaign. With Keegan Murray (thumb) on the mend from surgery and with rookie first-round pick Nique Clifford (hamstring) also likely to be sidelined into November, Jones stepped in on the top unit but didn't handle starter-level minutes. Jones might see his playing time rise once he's further removed from the illness, though head coach Doug Christie could prefer to use a medley of players at power forward until one or both of Murray and Clifford return rather than relying heavily on Jones.

Will start vs. Utah Jones will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Managing illness Jones didn't practice Monday due to an illness, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Impact Jones can be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's season opener in Phoenix. If he's not feeling well enough to play, it's possible Doug McDermott will enter the Kings' rotation.

Scores double digits in start Jones tallied 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Friday's 117-116 preseason win over the Lakers.
Impact The second-year forward made the most of his lone preseason start, which included splitting a pair of clutch free throws late in the fourth quarter to seal the game.
