Detroit plays Chicago following Cunningham's 42-point performance

Detroit faces the Chicago Bulls after Cade Cunningham scored 42 points in the Pistons' 126-111 win against the New York Knicks

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Signed by Detroit Jones signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Pistons on Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Jones was previously waived by Detroit on Feb. 4 as part of a roster crunch at the trade deadline, but the franchise moved quickly to scoop him back up. Jones will likely play a key role in the G League for the remainder of the season.

Let go by Detroit The Pistons waived Jones on Wednesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Jones was the casualty on the 15-man roster after Detroit needed to clear a spot after acquiring Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric from Chicago while sending Jaden Ivey to the Bulls in a trade Tuesday. After Detroit scooped him up off waivers from the Kings in early November, Jones went on to make just one one-minute appearance at the NBA level. Instead, the second-year big man has seen the bulk of his action this season in the G League, where he averaged 15.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.1 minutes per game over his 26 appearances for the Motor City Cruise.

Out Monday Jones (coach's decision) won't play in Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Jones was recalled from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Sunday but won't play for the parent club Monday. He hasn't seen the court at the NBA level since Nov. 17, so his absence shouldn't affect the Detroit rotation.

Recalled to NBA Detroit recalled Jones from the Motor City Cruise of the G League on Sunday.

Impact Jones has not appeared in an NBA game since Nov. 17 but will continue to serve as big man depth behind Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed. Should injuries ravage the team's frontcourt, Jones may get his opportunity to play in the rotation, but for now he will likely just continue to split time between the two clubs and only register significant playing time with the Cruise.

Assigned to G League Detroit assigned Jones (knee) to the G League's Motor City Cruise on Saturday.

Impact Jones is dealing with a sprained left knee, so he's still questionable for upcoming contests. If he's ready to play, he'll serve for the G League team for some time, with his role on the main squad recently reduced to minimal involvement. He's currently averaging 15.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in G League action.

Impact Jones suited up for Wednesday's G League game against the Wisconsin Herd and suffered the knee injury at some point along the way, per Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News. Jones will have another chance to take the court Monday in Boston.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Detroit assigned Jones to the G League's Motor City Cruise on Wednesday.

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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to NBA Detroit recalled Jones from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Monday.

Impact Jones saw his first action in a Detroit uniform Monday against the Pacers, scoring two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute of action. He'll likely continue to be an emergency depth option going forward.

Recalled to Detroit The Pistons recalled Jones from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Saturday.

Impact Jones delivered a strong performance for the Cruise on Saturday, tallying 21 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes before being recalled to the Pistons. At the NBA level this season, he's appeared in three games -- including one start -- averaging 1.0 points and 0.7 rebounds in 5.7 minutes per contest.

Assigned to G League Detroit assigned Jones to the G League's Motor City Cruise on Thursday.

Impact The Pistons claimed Jones off waivers Thursday after he was waived by the Kings. He has some long-term upside, but he's currently buried on the depth chart and will have to get some reps with the Cruise for now.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Kings sign Precious Achiuwa to deal The Kings added the big man and waived forward Isaac Jones to make room for him.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • NBA.COM

Waived by Kings The Kings will waive Jones on Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact The second-year center will be forced to give up his roster spot with the Kings agreeing to a deal with Precious Achiuwa. Jones was a standout during the Summer League, but he wasn't able to crack Sacramento's rotation. He's likely to draw interest on the open market.

Moving to bench vs. LAL Jones won't start in Sunday's game against the Lakers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Keon Ellis will replace Jones in the starting five on Sunday. The big man made his season debut in Friday's win over Utah, recording two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact After sitting out the season opener due to an illness, Jones was announced as a starter, which comes as a surprise. He'll join Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Dennis Schroder and Domantas Sabonis in the first five.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for season debut Jones (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Jones sat out of Wednesday's season opener due to an illness, but it won't keep him from taking the court Friday. He'll presumably see limited minutes off the bench behind DeMar DeRozan.

Won't play season opener Jones (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Impact Jones continues to deal with an illness that will keep him sidelined. Considering he isn't expected to play a significant role on the team, this likely won't have much of an impact from a fantasy perspective.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
