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.

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.

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.

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

Starting Wednesday Jones is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Impact This will be Jones' 50th game on the active roster for Denver, so after Wednesday's game, the Nuggets will need to convert his two-way deal to a standard NBA contract in order to have him suit up again for the club. Joining Jones in the starting unit Wednesday night will be Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson and Nikola Jokic.
