Tyus Jones News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dishes six assists in loss Jones contributed three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and six assists over 25 minutes during Sunday's 138-129 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Jones set season-highs in assists and minutes played Sunday, which is likely due to Jalen Suggs (rest) not playing the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back. With Suggs expected to return Tuesday against Philadelphia, Jones' role will likely be reduced.

Hits two three-pointers in win Jones registered eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 win over Golden State.

However, with season averages of 1.9 points on 31.6 percent from the field and 19 percent from three, Jones has a long way to make a stronger case for more playing time.

Impact Jones has not played consistently despite Jalen Suggs managing a knee injury, and has likely ceded minutes to Anthony Black.

Supplies six points Jones recorded six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Jones didn't post flashy numbers but provided steady, efficient minutes off the bench Saturday. The Duke product, in his first season with the Magic after spending 2024-25 with the Suns, is a proven and reliable presence as the primary backup point guard to Jalen Suggs. While his statistical output and fantasy relevance are limited in this role, the veteran's value as a stabilizing depth piece for Orlando is clear.
