Tyus Jones News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

To be waived by Dallas The Mavericks plan to waive Jones ahead of the March 1 waiver deadline, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports Friday.

Impact Jones was traded twice ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline and appeared in eight games (two starts) with Dallas before the club decided to part ways with him. He'll likely draw interest from playoff-contending teams in need of point guard depth.

Headed to bench Jones will come off the bench for Sunday's game in Indiana, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Max Christie (ankle) is back and starting after a one-game layoff, so Jones will return to the second unit. Jones' upside is muted in the reserve role, so he can only be viewed as a low-end, assist specialist in deep leagues.

Scores 13 points in start Jones ended with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and six assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 122-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones moved back into the starting lineup, scoring double digits for the fourth time this season, and for the first time as a member of the Mavericks. With Cooper Flagg dealing with a foot injury, Jones moved into an elevated role. Dallas has shown very little trust in any of its point guard options thus far, meaning Jones could certainly be given a shot at starting, at least for the foreseeable future. If you need assists and steals, perhaps he is worth taking a chance on.

Impact This will be Jones' second start in a Mavericks uniform, but through three games in Dallas, his minutes have yet to exceed 20. In his previous Mavs' start this season, Jones finished with two points (1-4 FG), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and one turnover in 15 minutes.

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. Jones appeared in 48 regular-season games (eight starts) for the Magic before the trade, during which he averaged 3.0 points and 2.4 assists while shooting 34.2 percent from the field in 15.7 minutes per contest.

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.

Tyus Jones trade details prove Hornets robbed Magic blind The Charlotte Hornets acquired a potentially serviceable point guard, but the assets that came along with him might be more valuable.

FEBRUARY 5 • SWARMANDSTING.COM

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.
