The Pistons waived Jones on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones, who was on a two-way contract, is being cut to make room for Wendell Moore. The No. 34 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Jones made just one seven-minute appearance for the Pistons this season prior to getting waived.

Jones (ankle) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was limited by a left ankle injury during training camp, but he seems to have made his way back from the issue. The two-way forward averaged 4.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.2 minutes per contest in 39 regular-season games last season, and most of his action will likely come with the G League's Motor City Cruise in 2025-26.

Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon said Monday that Jones (ankle) will not be available to start training camp, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones signed a two-way contract with the Pistons on July 23, but a left ankle injury will delay his participation in training camp, if not keep him out entirely. He appeared in 39 regular-season games last season -- 15 with the Wizards and 24 with the Kings -- averaging 4.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.2 minutes.

Jones agreed to a two-way contract with the Pistons on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones appeared in 39 regular-season NBA games in 2024, 15 with Washington and 24 with Sacramento, averaging 4.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 13.2 minutes. The Kings drafted the 23-year-old with the 34th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.

The Wizards traded Jones to the Thunder on Saturday in exchange for Dillon Jones and a 2029 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will eventually be released by the Thunder, which will allow the 2023 second-rounder to enter the market as an unrestricted free agent. Jones saw his role expand towards the end of the 2024-25 regular season. Over his last 14 games, he averaged 9.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals over 27.5 minutes per contest while shooting 46.6 percent from the field.

Jones chipped in 20 points (9-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists over 42 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-118 victory over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards went with a short seven-man rotation in the season finale, leading Jones to his first career double-double as he soaked up all the court time he could handle. The second-year wing played at least 30 minutes in six of his last eight appearances in 2024-25, averaging 10.6 points, 5.4 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 threes in 32.5 minutes a contest over that span.

Jones closed with 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Jones continues to get an extended look from the Wizards, with most key players being held out for injuries and maintenance. Over his last six games, Jones has flirted with top-100 production in nine-category formats, posting averages of 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes.

Jones closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Jones led the second unit in scoring and saw a sizable workload in the loss. He's been a key player for Washington recently, playing 29.2 minutes over his last six games to go with averages of 9.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Jones (lower leg) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will return to action Thursday after missing Sacramento's previous contest due to a right lower contusion. The second-year guard has averaged 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 19.4 minutes across his previous 10 outings.

Jones is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a right lower leg contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Jones may have sustained the injury while playing 40 minutes Tuesday in the G League Capital City Go-Go's 115-95 playoff loss to the Maine Celtics. Though he has since rejoined the Wizards and will be available at the NBA level for the rest of the season, Jones can be viewed as day-to-day while he manages the leg contusion.
