Sat Feb 2807:58Tyus Jones Set to be Waived by Dallas
Free agent guard Tyus Jones is expected to be released by the Dallas Mavericks before the March 1 deadline, allowing him to pursue a roster spot with a contender. The 29-year-old moved multiple times before landing in Dallas and saw limited action, appearing in eight games with two starts. In that stretch, he averaged 3.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 16.6 minutes. Jones should attract interest from playoff teams seeking steady point guard depth. His departure could open additional runs for Brandon Williams and create flexibility for Dallas to elevate Ryan Nembhard.

Thu Feb 508:21Tyus Jones Lands in Charlotte
The Charlotte Hornets have acquired point guard Tyus Jones from the Orlando Magic for cash considerations. The team also picked up a couple of second-round draft picks in the deal. Jones is a skilled playmaker, but things didn't work out for him in Orlando after he signed with the team as a free agent during the offseason. Across 48 appearances, he made only eight starts and averaged 3.0 points and 2.4 assists in 15.7 minutes. With LaMelo Ball entrenched as the starting point guard and the arrivals of Coby White and Mike Conley from Chicago, Jones' fantasy prospects are unlikely to improve in Charlotte.

Tue Jul 1 202521:34Tyus Jones Signs One-Year Deal With Magic
The Orlando Magic added some depth at the point guard position by signing free-agent guard Tyus Jones on Monday. According to Shams Charania, Jones signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the organization. Jones has bounced around quite a bit during his career, but last played with the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 26.8 minutes per game in 81 games with the Suns last season. It's unclear if he'll see that much playing time in Orlando, but that is also dependent on the health of Jalen Suggs. Jones figures to be the primary backup point guard, so he'll likely be asked to step up if the oft-injured Suggs goes down. Jones probably won't have standard league fantasy value on draft day.

Thu Jun 5 202508:19Tyus Jones Reportedly on Kings Radar
Phoenix Suns point guard Tyus Jones may once again be on the move this offseason. Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype reports that the Sacramento Kings are keeping tabs on Jones, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent. Jones reportedly sacrificed money and term last summer to sign with the Suns in hopes of contending for a championship. Unfortunately, reality turned out to be completely different. He's had three teams in three seasons and seems poised to move on again. The 29-year-old appears to be a good fit for the Kings, who lost their point guard De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs midseason. Jones has provided solid value to fantasy managers, averaging 10-plus points for three consecutive seasons. He also recorded 2.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists this season, while shooting 41.4 percent from downtown on 5.0 attempts.

Sat Jan 4 202516:49Tyus Jones Downgraded To Questionable For Saturday Matchup Against Pacers
Phoenix Suns guard Tyus Jones (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday night's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jones is dealing with an illness. He hasn't missed any games this season so there's hope he will be able to fight through this illness and play on Saturday. Jones has been solid for Phoenix in December, averaging 14.2 PPG and 4.9 APG during the month and helping keep Phoenix running while their starting lineup dealt with a litany of injuries. If he's unable to suit up, expect Monte Morris to get extended minutes either off the bench or by being inserted into the starting lineup.

Tue Oct 1 202407:24Tyus Jones Confirmed As Starter For Suns
Phoenix Suns point guard Tyus Jones will open the campaign as a member of the starting unit. Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer has said Jones will be a starter alongside Jusuf Nurkic and the team's Big Three of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant. Jones is coming off his first full season as a starter in Washington. Across 66 outings, he averaged 12.0 points with 7.3 assists. Considering the firepower Jones will have around him in Phoenix, his assists numbers should get a nice boost. However, his scoring will likely drop. Grayson Allen rolled as a starter among the Suns' stars last season. He should still play a big part in the rotation, but his fantasy value takes a hit with the move to the bench.

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will remain out of the lineup against Milwaukee on Tuesday. This will mark his 10th consecutive absence due to a back problem.

Poole is coming off a 22-point, eight-assist performance across 34 minutes against Miami, but he also had a seven-point dud versus Detroit last week. Fantasy managers need to be prepared for disappointment if they put their trust in the enigmatic sharpshooter.

If he's unable to play too, Jared Butler is the most likely candidate to get the starting nod. Johnny Davis would be next in line off of the bench.

Thu Mar 21 202409:49Tyus Jones Remains Out Against Kings
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will miss a fourth straight game on Thursday versus Sacramento. He's trying to shake off a back problem and will have his next opportunity to return on Saturday against Toronto. Jordan Poole has taken over as the starting point guard in Jones' absence, with Jared Butler seeing a good amount of minutes off the pine. Poole's fantasy stock has plummeted in 2023-24, and he did poorly again last time out against Houston, but he's getting a lot of shots and can heat up in a hurry. The matchup against the Kings is set to be a run-and-gun game, with both teams pushing the pace and focusing very little on defense, which will suit Poole.

Mon Mar 18 202420:29Tyus Jones Won't Play On Tuesday
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Poole posted a 31-point performance during their last game against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. That being said, Poole appears to be worth the risk as a fantasy option while he's given extra run as a starter.

Sun Mar 17 202416:36Tyus Jones Not Ready To Return On Sunday
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will be out for a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston. He missed his first contest of the season on Saturday against Chicago and will need a bit more time to get over a back issue. Jordan Poole was back among the starters against the Bulls, posting 15 points and eight assists in 23 minutes. The game turned into a blowout quickly, and even backup point guard Jared Butler logged 22 minutes of action. Another one-sided affair could be on the cards on Sunday against the league leaders, so Poole might not be able to improve his numbers much. Butler was already quiet on Saturday and will likely find it even harder to make an impact in Sunday's game.

Sat Mar 16 202418:50Tyus Jones Won't Play Against Chicago
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with the Bulls. He was already doubtful for the game with lower back spasms, so Jones' absence won't come as a surprise. Impressively, he had so far featured in every game for Washington this season.

Fri Mar 15 202416:43Tyus Jones Not Expected To Play Saturday
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) is reportedly suffering from back spasms and has officially been listed as doubtful for their Saturday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. This is going to be Jones' first missed game all season. He's been one of the only consistently available players for the Wizards this year, so fantasy managers will have to find a backup plan for once. Jones was able to play in their last game against the Houston Rockets and even played a full 31 minutes, so it's unclear when the issue came to light. In his place, Jordan Poole will probably move into the starting lineup again while Jared Butler should see some added minutes as well.

Sun Feb 4 202415:06Tyus Jones Will Suit Up Versus Phoenix
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. The 27-year-old sprained his ankle on Friday against Miami and carried a questionable tag heading into Sunday's matinee. Fortunately, the Wizards will have him in the lineup, which is good news, considering the team won't have Kyle Kuzma (shoulder). Jones has averaged a career-high 12.1 points and 6.3 dimes this season. Although his assists numbers could dip without Kuzma on the floor, he could easily make up for it on the scoring end.

Sun Feb 4 202400:09Tyus Jones Questionable Against Phoenix
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Phoenix. He tweaked his ankle during Friday's outing with the Miami Heat, ending his night after 26 minutes of action. There's a good chance the team will keep the 27-year-old off the floor against the Suns, meaning his next opportunity to suit up will be for Wednesday's clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But if Jones isn't active, Jordan Poole will presumably take over most of the ball-handling duties. With Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) out, Corey Kispert, who had 26 points against the Heat, will likely enter the starting lineup, with Landry Shamet and Delon Wright getting more work from off the bench.

Fri Feb 2 202421:33Tyus Jones Done For Rest Of Friday Night
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) won't return to Friday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He struggled before the injury and ended the night with six points off 2-for-7 shooting. Washington's next contest is on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, and it's certainly possible that Jones will carry some kind of injury designation heading into that one. But if the ankle issue keeps him off the floor, Corey Kispert might enter the starting lineup, with Jordan Poole taking over most of the ball handling duties.
