Will play Saturday Jones (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact As expected, Jones will shed his probable tag and make his Mavericks debut Saturday. He'll likely play a meaningful role off the bench behind Cooper Flagg and Max Christie.

Slated to make Mavs debut Saturday Jones (recently traded) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact It was a busy week for Jones, who was traded by the Magic to the Hornets on Wednesday before being shipped to the Mavericks one day later. The veteran guard is averaging just 15.7 minutes per game this season, which is his lowest since the 2016-17 season as a member of the Timberwolves (12.9). However, Jones has the opportunity to establish himself as the first guard off the Mavericks' bench behind starters Cooper Flagg and Max Christie.

Headed to Dallas Jones is being traded to the Mavericks in exchange for Malaki Branham, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Mavs have reportedly been eying Jones this season, and they were able to strike a deal on deadline day to bring him into the fold in Dallas. He's an intriguing addition, as Jones will add some playmaking at the guard position that they didn't previously have, and it'll be interesting to see how large a role he's able to carve out, competing for minutes with Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams. Jones could be worth a speculative add in deep leagues for those seeking some dimes and steals.

Traded to Charlotte The Magic traded Jones to the Hornets on Wednesday for two second-round picks and cash considerations, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Per Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, the move puts the Magic under the luxury tax by approximately $1.4 million with two open roster spots. Jones signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Magic in July after spending the prior season with the Suns, but he saw his playing time in Orlando dwindle since starting in seven consecutive games in December. Jones will get a fresh start with the Hornets, where he and fellow newcomer Coby White are expected to provide backcourt depth behind LaMelo Ball and rookie Kon Knueppel.

Dishes out nine assists in win Jones finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine assists and one rebound across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 133-124 win over the Heat.

Impact After being left out of the rotation in Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Cavaliers, Jones has since reclaimed a spot on the Magic's second unit. He handled an 18-minute workload in Monday's loss to Cleveland and saw similar playing time Wednesday on his way to finishing as Orlando's leading assist man. With Franz Wagner experienced renewed soreness in his left ankle and looking likely to miss additional time, Jones could have some staying power in the rotation for the time being. However, Jones will be a prime candidate to see his playing time get cut dramatically once Wagner returns and Orlando is back to full strength.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Left out of rotation Saturday Jones (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Jones had already played fewer than 20 minutes in each of Orlando's last six games, and with the Magic getting another point guard in Jalen Suggs (knee) back from an eight-game absence and handing him 24 minutes in his return, Jones ended up being the odd man out of the rotation. Orlando will eventually get Franz Wagner (ankle) back in the mix as well, so Jones could face an uphill battle to regain a regular role on the second unit over the second half of the season.

Another dud in win Jones produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists and one block across 14 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 win over the Pacers.

Impact Even with Jalen Suggs (knee) battling yet another injury, Jones just can't seem to get much going in Orlando. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 23.3 minutes per night with 6.0 points, 3.4 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Reverting to bench Wednesday Jones won't start against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Impact With Jalen Suggs (hip) back in action, Jones will slide to the second unit. In 25 appearances off the bench this season, the veteran point guard has averaged 2.5 points and 2.1 assists in 14.0 minutes per contest.

Decent line in loss Jones closed Monday's 107-106 loss to Toronto with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact With the emergence of Anthony Black this season, Jones hasn't been able to build much momentum in Orlando's backcourt and remains a low-end fantasy asset. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging 7.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per contest.

Posts 16 points in starting role Jones racked up 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although Jones' results have been poor as Orlando's replacement floor general, he came through with a season-high seven assists and was effective in the narrow win. His 16 points were only the second time he's logged a double-digit scoring total this season, and although he may have a few more starts in his future, he will likely fail to register a fantasy-worthy total.

Drawing start Thursday Jones is starting Thursday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Jones will draw his second start of the season and his first since Oct. 25 as the team battles through a number of injuries. He's gotten off to a sluggish start to December, averaging 3.5 points and 2.5 assists in 15.0 minutes over six games, but he could be more involved Thursday evening.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs four assists in 17 minutes Jones posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 win over the Heat.

Impact Jones went scoreless again, marking the 14th time this season, but continued to set his teammates for success. The Magic are currently 8-1 when Jones records at least three assists, and while this stat may be a coincidence, the role Jones plays as the team's backup facilitator is undeniably important.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes six assists in win Jones had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 125-120 victory over Chicago.

Impact Jones has now logged 13 scoreless games this season, and his role backing up Jalen Suggs entering the season has been absorbed by the emergence of Anthony Black. Jones should not currently be under any roster considerations in any fantasy league formats.
