Tyus Jones's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Phoenix Suns point guard Tyus Jones will open the campaign as a member of the starting unit. Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer has said Jones will be a starter alongside Jusuf Nurkic and the team's Big Three of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant. Jones is coming off his first full season as a starter in Washington. Across 66 outings, he averaged 12.0 points with 7.3 assists. Considering the firepower Jones will have around him in Phoenix, his assists numbers should get a nice boost. However, his scoring will likely drop. Grayson Allen rolled as a starter among the Suns' stars last season. He should still play a big part in the rotation, but his fantasy value takes a hit with the move to the bench.

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. He will be sidelined for the 15th consecutive game because of a back injury. The Wizards only have 15 wins this season, and since there is not much to play for, it would not be surprising if Jones has already played his last game of the year. Washington's final matchup will be played on Sunday against the Boston Celtics, which will be his final chance to return.

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will remain out of the lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday. This will mark his 12th consecutive absence due to a back problem and there is no timetable for his return. Jones' injury has helped Jordan Poole get back into the first unit, and he should get free rein on offense against Portland. Poole registered 29 points, two rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 34 minutes on the court one game ago against the Lakers.
