Kam Jones News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Scoreless in seven minutes Jones finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across seven minutes during Wednesday's 127-119 loss to Portland.

Impact Jones failed to trouble the scorers, logging just seven minutes in what was another underwhelming performance. After carving out a sizeable role in late-Feb, Jones has seen his playing time fluctuate, averaging just 2.0 points in 13.4 minutes per game over the past four contests. At this point, he should simply be on watchlists, just in case his role eventuates down the stretch.

Moves back out of rotation Jones (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Pacers' 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The Pacers were without Pascal Siakam (knee) and Quenton Jackson (calf) on Friday, but the returns of T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Obi Toppin (foot) were enough to result in Jones falling back out of the rotation. The rookie guard out of Marquette had previously appeared in each of the Pacers' last three games, averaging 5.7 points, 5.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes.

Fills in with 14 points Jones posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.

Impact Jones stepped in for the injured Ryan Nembhard (back) and produced a decent total in the loss. The Pacers selected Jones in the second round of the 2025 NBA draft with hopes that the Marquette product could help bolster the backcourt with Tyrese Haliburton unavailable for the year. Instead, the rookie played frequently with the G League's Noblesville Boom and has made minimal impact with the parent club.

Starting Tuesday Jones will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Jones will step into the starting lineup Tuesday with Andrew Nembhard (back) out of commission. Jones had recently fallen out of the team's rotation, but he should receive plenty of looks with the Pacers navigating a thin backcourt.

Drops out of rotation Jones (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 128-117 loss to the Lakers.

Impact After averaging 26.5 minutes per game while appearing in 11 straight games and making six starts from Feb. 3 through this past Sunday, Jones has now been removed from head coach Rick Carlisle's rotation entirely for the past two contests. The rookie's drop in playing time has coincided with the return of Aaron Nesmith (ankle), who has settled back into a starting role on the wing while playing 20-plus minutes in both of the Pacers' past two contests. While the lottery-bound Pacers remain likely to occasionally rest veterans like Nesmith over the final month of the season to open up playing time for younger players on the roster, Jones looks as though he'll be out of the mix for minutes when Indiana has all of its key guards and wings available.

Won't start Wednesday Jones won't start Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact With Andrew Nembhard (back/neck) returning to the lineup, Jones will slide to the second unit. Over his last five outings off the bench, the rookie second-rounder has averaged 4.0 points and 1.2 assists in 18.4 minutes per tilt.

Tallies first career double-double Jones amassed 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Although the 10 assists were one short of his season best, Jones recorded his first career double-double Sunday. It's possible that starter Andrew Nembhard (back) will remain at risk of sporadically sitting out for injury management down the stretch, which could keep Jones in the mix for future starts. Over his six outings as a starter, the rookie second-rounder has averaged 10.0 points, 6.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

Jones has started in two of the Pacers' last three games, and if Andrew Nembhard (toe) is unable to play, then T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Quenton Jackson would be in line for bigger roles.
