Jones played six minutes for Windy City in a loss to Delaware on Thursday, finishing with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed Windy City's previous game with an undisclosed issue but was back on the court Thursday. However, he played very limited minutes and continued his season-long lack of production. The 2012 first-round NBA draft pick is averaging a meager 2.9 points and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 41.2 percent from the field in 11 G League contests this season.

The Windy City Bulls acquired Jones from the G League's available player pool in early January, Kyle Brown of Windy City's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was a first-round draft pick of the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012 and appeared in 143 games over three seasons with the NBA club. He averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 boards in those contests, last playing during the 2014-15 season. Since that time, Jones has played internationally as well as in 55 games with the G League's Iowa Wolves. He has started slowly as a member of Windy City, totaling six points on 2-for-6 shooting over two contests.

Jones had eight points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine rebounds and four assists during Wednesday's 102-97 loss to the Windy City Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Perry has been able to score at a decent rate this season but one of his major weaknesses is his inefficiency in shooting the basketball. For example, during his last three games, he is shooting just 33.3 percent along with just 6.7 percent from behind the arc. The former Baylor forward is averaging 11.3 points and five rebounds.

Jones was waived by the Pelicans on Saturday, Scott Kushner of The Advocate reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones joined the Pelicans on a training camp deal back in September and ended up taking part in three preseason games, averaging 3.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 15.2 minutes. However, he didn't make enough of an impression on the coaching staff to make the final roster and will now return to the free agent pool. If he doesn't find any suitors elsewhere, Jones could try his luck in the G-League, or head overseas if he finds a more lucrative offer.

Jones and the Pelicans agree to a training camp deal Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones last played in the league during the 2014-15 season. He spent all three years of his career with the Thunder. Most recently, the 25-year-old played with BC Khimki of the Russian VTB United Leauge. Albeit a long shot, the Pelicans are thin on wing depth, so Jones could potentially land a spot on the regular season roster if he can impress in camp.

Jones agreed to terms on a contract with Khimki Moscow of Russia, Sportando reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being selected by the Thunder in the third round of the 2012 NBA Draft, Jones struggled to find a role with the team over his first three seasons in the league. The Thunder ended up trading him to the Celtics last offseason in July, but Jones was unable to make the final roster and was waived prior to the start of the regular season. After again finding minimal interest from NBA teams, Jones will head to Russia and play for Khimki. However, don't be surprised if he attempts to return to the NBA at some point in the future.

Jones was waived on Saturday, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Celtics frantically tried to trade Jones prior to releasing their cuts Saturday, but finding no suitable offer, were forced to release the wildly-talented yet underutilized 24-year-old. Jones will likely get picked up my another team in the coming days, but it doesn't appear as if he will land in a fantasy relevant situation considering most teams have already solidified their final rosters.

Jones appears to be the leading candidate to be released in order for the Celtics to get down to the minimum 15 gauranteed contracts, CSN New England's A. Sherrod Blakely reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Celtics will give him an opportunity to shine over the last few preseason games. A knee issue, as well as personal leave due to a death in the family, hindered Jones' chances to stand out on the court. Jones averaged 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds in two preseason games this fall.
