Ruled out for Thursday Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Out for Sunday Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones was previously listed as questionable due to a right shoulder strain, an injury he appeared to aggravate during Friday's overtime loss to the Thunder. The second-year forward has dealt with a string of absences in February, previously missing time due to a concussion. With Jones sidelined Sunday alongside Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring), the Nuggets will likely lean more heavily on Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown to fill minutes on the wing

Questionable for Sunday Jones is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota due to a right shoulder strain.

Impact Jones managed to shed his questionable tag ahead of Friday's overtime loss to the Thunder, recording a foul in two minutes of action. He's now is danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to the shoulder injury, and if he's ultimately ruled out, Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown would be candidates to see a slight uptick in playing time. Jones has averaged 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds across 17.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Good to go Friday Jones (shoulder) will play in Friday's game against the Thunder, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Jones will shed his questionable tag due to a right shoulder strain and suit up for a fifth consecutive contest. Over his last four outings, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 5.0 points and 5.3 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game off the bench.

Picks up shoulder injury Jones is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder due to a right shoulder strain.

How the Nuggets Are Expected to Fill Their Final Roster Spot The Denver Nuggets have now gone nearly three weeks with an open roster spot, as even after converting two-way standout Spencer Jones to a s...

Nabs first career double-double Jones notched 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 157-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact The second-year forward saw some extra run in the rout, and he used the opportunity to record his first career double-double. Even with Nikola Jokic and Cameron Johnson both healthy, Jones should still have a significant role in the frontcourt while Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) are on the shelf, but he'll need to stay on the court himself -- he's missed four of eight February games, three due to a concussion and one due to a DNP - Coach's Decision.

Sees 16 minutes in loss Jones totaled two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Jones missed the Nuggets' last three games before the All-Star break while working his way through the league's concussion protocol, and he saw a modest workload Thursday. Meanwhile, both Julian Strawther and Bruce Brown played featured roles on the wings and had far more success.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Jones (concussion) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Jones missed the Nuggets' last three games before the All-Star break while working his way through the league's concussion protocol, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to return Thursday. Since the new year, Jones has averaged 5.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 threes and 0.9 steals over 28.3 minutes per game.

All-Stars Jokic and Murray lead Nuggets past scrappy Grizzlies 122-116

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray warmed up for their appearances in the NBA’s All-Star festivities by teaming up to help the Denver Nuggets hold off the Memphis Grizzlies 122-116

FEBRUARY 12 • Associated Press

Out for Wednesday Jones (concussion) won't play Wednesday against the Grizzlies, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jones is in the final stages of the concussion protocol, so while he won't be available for Wednesday's game, there's a reasonable chance he'll be cleared for Denver's first match after the break on Feb. 19 against the Clippers. Julian Strawther has been the primary beneficiary with Jones sidelined.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Tabbed questionable Jones (concussion) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Impact Jones has missed back-to-back games due to a concussion, but he has a chance to return Wednesday night. Julian Strawther has filled in for Jones in the starting lineup and would likely do so again if Jones can't play Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Monday Jones (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Cavs.

Impact Jones will need to clear a series of steps in the concussion protocol testing before he's allowed to return, and he's not there yet. Monday will mark his second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Saturday Jones (concussion protocol) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Jones exited Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Knicks early due to a head contusion and will miss Saturday's contest while in the league's concussion protocol. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against Cleveland. In the meantime, Tim Hardaway, Julian Strawther and Bruce Brown are candidates for increased playing time.

Denver will try to stop its three-game slide when the Nuggets play Chicago

FEBRUARY 6 • Associated Press

Biggest winner of the Nuggets' expected trade is painfully obvious The Denver Nuggets' lone pre-deadline trade allows them to do what everyone has been waiting for with Spencer Jones.

FEBRUARY 5 • NUGGLOVE.COM

Gets standard contract The Nuggets will convert Jones (head) to a standard contract, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

Impact Jones was previously on a two-way contract, but he has made a strong impression on the franchise. Across 46 appearances, Jones has hit 50.5 percent from the field with averages of 6.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per contest. The forward is questionable to suit up Saturday against the Bulls due to a head contusion.

Knicks outlast Nuggets 134-127 in 2 OTs for their eighth straight victory as Brunson scores 42

Jalen Brunson had 42 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, and the New York Knicks outlasted the Denver Nuggets 134-127 in two overtimes for their eighth straight victory

FEBRUARY 5 • Associated Press

Early exit Wednesday Jones (head) left Wednesday's 134-127 double overtime loss to the Knicks after the first quarter and did not return.

Impact Jones butted heads with Karl-Anthony Towns late in the first quarter, and the collision resulted in a head contusion for Jones. The injury prevented him from returning to the contest. Before exiting, Jones was held scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with three rebounds, a steal and a block across 12 minutes. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Bulls.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Wednesday Jones (head) is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jones went to the locker room after colliding with Karl-Anthony Towns in the first quarter, and the former is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Wednesday's game. Julian Strawther and Bruce Brown should see more minutes off the bench for as long as Jones is sidelined.
