Tyus Jones News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Sees 12 minutes off bench Jones closed with four points (2-4 FG), three assists and one steal in 12 minutes during Thursday's 110-98 loss to Minnesota in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference...

Impact Jones logged just three postseason appearances for the Nuggets for an average of 10.0 minutes per contest. Denver picked up Jones after he was waived by Dallas, but he was used sparingly with 11 regular-season appearances and 8.4 minutes per contest.

Won't start Saturday Jones won't start Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones started Denver's final two regular-season games but will retreat to the second unit for the start of the playoffs. The veteran point guard isn't guaranteed to see the floor Saturday.

Starting Friday vs. OKC Jones is in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Thunder on Friday, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Jones has seen little time in Denver's rotation since the beginning of March. However, with seven Nuggets players ruled out Friday -- including Jamal Murray (shoulder) and Christian Braun (ankle) -- Jones will move into the starting lineup for the 11th time this season and first with Denver. Jones' last start took place Feb. 20 as a member of the Mavericks, when he logged 13 points, six assists and one rebound over 26 minutes.

Back in rotation Wednesday Jones accumulated two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and two assists over eight minutes during Wednesday's 129-93 win over the Rockets.

Impact Jones moved back into the rotation, albeit for a brief garbage-time appearance. While Jones does provide the Nuggets with an additional ball-handling option, it's clear that he is unlikely to play meaningful minutes on most nights. For now, he can be ignored in most fantasy formats.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Signs on with Denver Jones agreed to a contract with the Nuggets on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Jones is expected to eat up minutes behind Jamal Murray in Denver's backcourt. Jones was waived by the Mavs on Friday after being traded twice before the trade deadline. The Duke product has appeared in 56 games this season across stops in Phoenix and Dallas and is averaging 3.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 15.8 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 28 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

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.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Starting Friday Jones will start Friday versus the Timberwolves.

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.
