Moves back out of rotation
Jones (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Pacers' 101-92 loss to the Knicks.
Analyse
The Pacers were without Pascal Siakam (knee) and Quenton Jackson (calf) on Friday, but the returns of T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Obi Toppin (foot) were enough to result in Jones falling back out of the rotation. The rookie guard out of Marquette had previously appeared in each of the Pacers' last three games, averaging 5.7 points, 5.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes over that stretch.

Fills in with 14 points
Jones posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.
Analyse
Jones stepped in for the injured Andrew Nembhard (back) and produced a decent total in the loss. The Pacers selected Jones in the second round of the 2025 NBA draft with hopes that the Marquette product could help bolster the backcourt with Tyrese Haliburton unavailable for the year. Instead, the rookie played frequently with the G League's Noblesville Boom and has made minimal impact with the parent club.

Starting Tuesday
Jones will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Analyse
Jones will step into the starting lineup Tuesday with Andrew Nembhard (back) out of commission. Jones had recently fallen out of the team's rotation, but he should receive plenty of looks with the Pacers navigating a thin backcourt.
