Jones will get the start at point guard in Saturday's game against the Spurs, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets will be short-handed again Saturday with only eight players available. As a result, Jones should be in line for an extended workload. He contributed nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3PT, 1-1 FT) in Thursday's victory over the Spurs.

Jones scored nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) in Thursday's victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

The short-handed Rockets were in all-hands-on-deck mode Thursday, allowing Jones to tally a season-high 14 minutes. He hit on half his field-goal attempts and converted his lone try from the charity stripe, though he also committed three turnovers. Jones is likely to revert back to minutes in single digits when new teammate Victor Oladipo is able to take the court and/or when Eric Gordon (knee) returns from injury.

Jones put up two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in seven minutes during Friday's 132-90 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Like several other Rockets, Jones missed the first few games of the season due to COVID-19, and then he suffered an ankle sprain, which cost him more time. He finally made his NBA debut in this one and scored his first points to boot.

Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old missed the start of the season due to the league's health and safety protocols, and he's been sidelined by the right ankle sprain for the past week. Jones' next chance to make his season debut will be Friday against the Magic.

Jones (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has yet to play this season due to a right ankle injury and it doesn't look like he's likely to make that debut Monday. The 22-year-old's next chance to suit up would come Wednesday against the Pacers, but it's unlikely he would have much of a role on this team right away.

Jones (ankle) is out Saturday against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Jones remains on the shelf with an ankle injury. It's not clear when he'll make his debut.

Jones (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Kings, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, after not practicing Wednesday, Jones won't be available for Thursday's game. Even when he's available, he likely won't have a significant role.

Jones did not practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has passed through health and safety protocols, but he's now dealing with a sprained ankle. Given that he didn't practice Wednesday, it seems unlikely he'll take the court Thursday against the Kings.

Jones (COVID-19) will be required to quarantine for seven days, keeping him out of the Rockets' next two games, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones, Eric Gordon, DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall will all have the same quarantine requirement, making them unavailable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, along with Monday's game against Denver. Jones will be eligible to return to the team Thursday against the Kings, although he's unlikely to play a significant role for the Rockets this season.

Jones' status for the opener Wednesday against the Thunder is uncertain pending contact tracing protocols, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

A myriad of Rockets players are undergoing the same protocols, and the team could be extremely short-staffed for Wednesday's opener.
