Officially in
Jones (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against New Orleans.

12. Januar 2026
Likely to play in New Orleans
Jones is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to left ankle inflammation and an illness.
Analyse
Jones ended up playing in Sunday's win over Milwaukee despite dealing with the ankle issue and an illness, so the fact that he's listed as probable for Tuesday is a sign he expects to suit up. He's been stuck in a cold stretch recently, averaging 5.0 points while shooting just 35.0 percent from the field over his last four appearances.

Green light to play Sunday
Jones (ankle/illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analyse
Jones was held out of Friday's game against the Hawks while battling both an ankle injury and an illness, but he's been cleared to return for Sunday's home contest. He should take on more responsibilities against Milwaukee due to the absences of Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) and Christian Braun (ankle).
11. Januar 2026
Questionable to play Sunday
Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analyse
Jones didn't play Friday due to an ankle injury and an illness, and while he overcame the latter, the ankle issues persist for the second-year forward. Jones has started in each of his last 22 appearances, averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
10. Januar 2026
Not playing Friday
Jones (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Analyse
Jones has been working through both left ankle inflammation and an illness. The duo of issues is enough for the second-year forward to be sidelined for Friday's contest, and his next chance to play is Sunday against the Bucks. Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown (knee) are the most likely candidates to enter the Nuggets' starting lineup in Jones' absence.
9. Januar 2026
Downgraded to doubtful
Jones (ankle, illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Analyse
The Nuggets previously considered Jones questionable, but now it sounds like the forward isn't going to be able to play Friday. Jones has been a full-time starter since Nov. 22, so it's likely that either Tim Hardaway or Bruce Brown (knee) will jump into the first unit against Atlanta.
