EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Jones has only appeared in one of the last seven contests for the Suns and is unlikely to see meaningful minutes even when he's able to return.

Jones (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game at Houston.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old will be unavailable for the second consecutive contest due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Jones appeared in only one of the previous seven games before landing in the protocol, so his absence is unlikely to affect coach Monty Williams' rotation.

Jones (COVID-19 protocols) was ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Jones played 12 minutes in the Suns' loss to the Wizards, but he'll be unavailable Monday due to the league's health and safety protocols. Once he's eligible to return, he's unlikely to play a significant role for Phoenix.

Jones scored six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT) while adding three rebounds and a block in 12 minutes off the bench during Monday's 128-107 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has been a DNP for the last six games, but with the Suns down by 28 at the half, coach Monty Williams emptied his bench in the final frame. It's only the second time this season Jones has seen double-digit minutes, and while his per-minute production Monday was solid, it's not likely to result in a meaningful role in the frontcourt rotation.

Jones agreed Sunday with the Suns on a two-year contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will provide some insurance at center for the Suns in the likely event Aron Baynes heads elsewhere in free agency this offseason. The 25-year-old enjoyed a 19-game run as a starter for the Hawks during the 2019-20 campaign, but he saw his playing time tail off as the season unfolded. He ultimately finished with averages of 5.6 points, 3.7 boards and 0.7 blocks in 16.1 minutes per game across 55 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will come off the bench Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has started the past seven games for a banged up Hawks team, but he's seen just 15 minutes in each of his past two appearances. Dewayne Dedmon, who was acquired from the Kings prior to the trade deadline, will get the start at center in favor of Jones on Wednesday.
