Jones closed with six points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 loss to the Grizzlies.
Despite carving out a consistent role in the rotation, Jones' playing time has been largely underwhelming thus far this season. He has logged more than 20 minutes only once, typically playing as a backup guard behind the likes of Chris Paul and Devin Vassell. Should Paul suffer an injury at any point, Jones could find himself slated with a sizeable role, providing the team with above-average passing skills from the point guard position.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Drops season-high nine assists
Rotowire
Jones totaled seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound, nine assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to the Knicks.
Victor Wembanyama stole the show on Christmas Day for the Spurs, dropping 42 points on the Knicks. However, Jones also quietly had a solid performance, dishing out a season-high nine assists against New York, which is a promising sign for the guard, who recently missed six games with a shoulder injury.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Poor production in return
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) played 14 minutes off the bench and contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in Thursday's 133-126 overtime win over the Hawks.
Jones made his return from a six-game absence due to a left shoulder sprain and settled back in as the top backup to Chris Paul. However, Jones didn't fill all of the backup minutes at point guard when Paul was off the court, as rookie Stephon Castle also saw some playing time on the ball after recently losing his spot in the starting five. If that arrangement continues to hold, Jones could struggle to see his minutes pick up much in future contests, eliminating some of his appeal as a streaming option for assists in deeper leagues.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Downgraded to probable
Rotowire
Jones is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a left shoulder sprain, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Jones was listed as available earlier Thursday, but the point guard suffered a downgrade in his status. However, the probable tag suggests he's likely to suit up and see action. Jones has missed San Antonio's last six games, but he's had a minor role when healthy. Through 10 appearances, he's averaging just 4.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 17.5 minutes per game.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Jones will miss a sixth straight game due to a left shoulder sprain. Sunday's contest was the first time the veteran guard was listed as questionable since the injury in early December, so it appears he's nearing a return to game action, despite missing yet another contest. In his absence, Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley are candidates for extra minutes.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Jones sustained a left shoulder sprain in the 127-125 win over the Kings on Dec. 1, and while he was expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, it seems he might return earlier than initially expected. Jones has been a serviceable backup at point guard for the Spurs, averaging 4.1 points, 3.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per game. Despite his steady role in the rotation, Jones isn't expected to have a sizable role in most fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Coach Mitch Johnson said Thursday that he expects Jones (shoulder) to miss at least a few weeks, Dusty Garza of News 4 San Antonio reports.
Jones will be sidelined for the foreseeable future due to a left shoulder sprain he sustained in Sunday's win over the Kings. With the 24-year-old sidelined, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson are candidates to see a slight uptick in playing time. Jones has averaged 4.1 points, 3.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per contest over eight regular-season outings.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Ruled out for Thursday
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) will be unavailable Thursday against Chicago.
Jones will miss his second consecutive contest due to a left shoulder sprain, with Friday versus Sacramento representing his next opportunity to take the court. Jones has struggled to find offensive rhythm since returning from a sprained ankle suffered on Opening Night. He's averaging just 3.3 points and 4.0 assists on 35.7 percent shooting in 17.5 minutes across his last four appearances.
Jones has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to a left shoulder sprain, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Jones exited Sunday's win over the Clippers during the fourth quarter due to the shoulder injury and was unable to return. During the 24-year-old's absence in Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup, Blake Wesley could see a slight uptick in playing time off the bench. Jones' next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Bulls.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Exits early Sunday
Rotowire
Jones checked out of Sunday's 127-125 win over the Kings with 8:23 remaining and didn't return due to an apparent left shoulder injury, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Jones seemed to injure the shoulder after getting hit during a screen early in the fourth quarter. He concluded the contest with seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two steals, two blocks, one rebound and one assist in 13 minutes. He should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Hands out seven assists
Rotowire
Jones closed Tuesday's 128-115 victory over Utah with two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 19 minutes.
Making just his sixth appearance of the season, Jones recorded a season-high seven assists in the win, but his jumper continues to elude him. He's now shooting 28.0 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc. He's a tough sell in fantasy when the Spurs are getting close to full strength.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Plays 19 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) ended with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds across 19 minutes during Saturday's 110-93 loss to Dallas.
Jones made his long-awaited return following a 12-game absence but made a limited impact off the bench. With Chris Paul having settled in as the Spurs' starting point guard and having thus far stayed healthy this season, Jones may continue to find himself stuck in 15-to-20-minute role in most games.

Jones (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Kings, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Jones was set to miss at least two weeks beginning Oct. 26 due to an ankle injury, and he will remain sidelined Monday without a clear timetable for return. Stephon Castle figures to be the main beneficiary in Jones' absence, while Blake Wesley could see an uptick in minutes as well.
