Tre Jones

With Dejounte Murray out with a respiratory illness, the San Antonio Spurs have had to give big starting minutes to second-year guard Tre Jones. Over four starts to close out the season and clinch an unexpected spot in the play-in games, Jones has not just been serviceable, he’s been borderline incredible.

Jones registered 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-97 victory over the Nuggets. Jones started for the third game in a row, and while he's never going to put up the same numbers that Dejounte Murray (illness) records on a regular basis, he has been holding down the fort at point guard. This was his first double-double, and over his three starts, he's averaging 13.7 points, 8.7 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game.

Jones contributed 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 113-92 victory over the Trail Blazers. Jones started in place of Dejounte Murray (illness) for the second game in a row and thrived, registering his second-best scoring mark of the season. Jones should head back to a bench role once Murray is ready to return to action, however, as the Spurs are very much alive in the race for a berth in the play-in tournament.

Jones will start Sunday's game against Portland. With Dejounte Murray (illness) sidelined for the second straight game, Jones will make another start at point guard. He finished Friday's win over Portland with nine points, nine assists, five rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes.

HOUSTON — As if Spurs guard Tre Jones needed more reason to be pumped to see his alma mater Duke in the Final Four, the opponent the Blue Devils have drawn cranks his excite-o-meter up to 11. “It’s the first time playing the other school in the NCAA Tournament,”...

Jones will start Saturday's game against the Pacers. Jones gets the nod with Dejounte Murray (calf) sidelined. In five previous starts, Jones has averaged 14.0 points, 6.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 32.0 minutes.

Jones racked up nine points (4-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 loss to Indiana. Jones notched up just the second double-double of his career Saturday, although it was certainly an unorthodox way of going about it. It was the third time this season he has managed to top double-digits in assists, highlighting his ability to play as the lead facilitator. Of course, we need to remember that the Spurs were without three of their regular starters in this one, perhaps putting a pin in Jones' short-lived explosion.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Spurs point guard Tre Jones considered all the possibilities, looked at the problem from every angle, searched high and low for a solution. But no matter how hard he tried to figure out how to be in two places at once, he always reached the same conclusion: It just wasn’t going to happen.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Coming off the first double-double of his NBA career, the Spurs’ Tre Jones said his 19-point, 11-assist effort in Saturday’s 133-129 loss at Miami reflects his ever-increasing comfort level. “It’s the most comfortable I’ve felt and I am just going to keep building,” the...

Jones will come off the bench Monday against the Grizzlies, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports. Jones started Saturday against the Heat and delivered 19 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes, but he'll return to the bench with Dejounte Murray (knee) rejoining the lineup. Jones will still operate as San Antonio's secondary point guard, though he doesn't offer much fantasy upside in that role.

Jones finished Saturday's 133-129 loss to the Heat with 19 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal before fouling out after playing 36 minutes. Jones moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Dejounte Murray, who was out with a knee injury. While Murray's...

Jones (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Wizards.

He's averaged 4.7 points and 3.7 assists in 14.7 minutes per game across his last three appearances.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The All-Star break could not come at a better time for Spurs guard Tre Jones, who missed Wednesday’s game at Oklahoma City with right knee soreness. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said his backup point guard was dealing with a bone bruise suffered at some point in Monday’s loss at Chicago.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tre Jones (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jones is unlikely to suit up on Wednesday night with recent knee soreness. Expect Lonnie Walker to log more minutes at the guard positions against a Thunder team ranked ninth in defensive rating.

Jones (knee) is out Wednesday against Oklahoma City, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports. Jones was doubtful for Wednesday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him ruled out. Lonnie Walker, Tomas Satoransky and Joshua Primo should see increased run off the bench.

Jones is doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Thunder due to knee soreness, independent NBA journalist Matthew Tynan reports. Jones was held scoreless across 12 minutes of action during Monday's loss to the Bulls, and he appears to have picked up a knee injury as well. He'll likely be sidelined for the Spurs' final game before the All-Star break, which should open the door for Lonnie Walker, Tomas Satoransky and Joshua Primo to garner increased roles off the bench.

Jones (mouth) is available for Friday's game against Atlanta, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports. Jones was unavailable Wednesday against the Cavaliers after he underwent a dental procedure, but he'll be able to suit up Friday. The 22-year-old has averaged 7.8 points and 3.4 assists in 19.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances but should serve in a backup role against Atlanta.

Jones (mouth) is questionable Friday against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports. Jones sat out Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to a dental procedure. He could return to his backup point guard role Friday.
