Jones (back) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Suns, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

A back injury caused Jones to be questionable initially, but he'll be able to play through the issue Tuesday. With Marc Gasol (COVID-19 protocols) sidelined, Jones could be in for extra minutes.

Jones is day-to-day with a lower-back injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Suns, but it's looking like his status is uncertain at this point. If he's unavailable, it'll be a blow to the Lakers' depth at center.

Jones (not injury related) is available for Friday's game against Portland but is unlikely to play, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers on Friday to provide some frontcourt depth with Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined. While he'll suit up and could be available in an emergency situation, coach Frank Vogel said that the team will stick with the normal rotation of Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell at center.

Jones signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Looking for some depth in the frontcourt with Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined, the Lakers opted to sign Jones on a 10-day deal. He played 94 minutes with the Suns earlier this season, totaling 22 points, 18 rebounds, five blocks, four assists and one steal.

Jones was waived by the Suns on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones hasn't been a meaningful rotation player for the Suns this season. He's appeared in only 14 games and has averaged 1.6 points and 1.3 rebounds in 6.7 minutes. If he lands on another NBA squad, he'll likely remain a depth piece.

Jones added five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), three assists and one rebound during Monday's win over Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Jones logged six minutes of action during junk time of the Suns' blowout win, chipping in with his highest point total since Feb. 3 against New Orleans. It was his third straight appearance and after Monday's outing, the center is averaging 3.0 points across his past three contests.

Jones (coach's decision) didn't see the floor Saturday in the Suns' 111-105 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was cleared to suit up for the first time since Jan. 11 after he had been sidelined while waiting to clear the NBA's health and safety protocols. Though he was active Saturday, the center wasn't included in head coach Monty Williams' rotation, which had been the case before Jones was away from the team. Jones looks to be no higher than fourth on the Suns' depth chart at center behind Deandre Ayton, Dario Saric and Frank Kaminsky.

Jones (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

It appeared Jones would be sitting out Saturday, but he's been upgraded from out to available. Still, it's not a guarantee that he sees the court with Frank Kaminsky playing relatively well as a backup center.

Jones (COVID-19 protocols) was ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will miss yet another game due to the league's health and safety protocols. Once he's able to return, he's unlikely to play a significant role for Phoenix.

Jones (COVID-19 protocols) is out Thursday against the Warriors, freelance writer Brendon Kleen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones continues to be unavailable due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. The 25-year-old is unlikely to have a significant role even once cleared to return.
