Suns
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.

Tyus Jones Expected To Start In Phoenix
According to Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro, Phoenix Suns guard Tyus Jones is expected to start this season. After spending last season in Washington, he agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million contract with Phoenix. In 60 games with the Wizards, the 26-year-old averaged a career-high 12.0 points and 7.3 assists, adding 1.1 steals. With Jones anticipated to roll with the first five, Grayson Allen will presumably return to the bench. From a statistical standpoint, Allen is also coming off the best year of his career, logging 13.5 points and shooting 46.1% from behind the arc. Fortunately for Allen's fantasy managers, the Suns' bench isn't deep, meaning he could remain involved. However, with Bradley Beal having issues staying healthy, Allen should still get chances to start during the 2024-25 campaign.

Tyus Jones Signing With The Suns
Free-agent guard Tyus Jones agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Suns. The 28-year-old averaged a career-high 12.0 points and 7.3 assists in 60 games with the Wizards last season. He was arguably the top free agent available, and his arrival in Phoenix gives the Suns a reliable point guard capable of coming off the bench or providing quality minutes with the starting lineup. With that said, his pairing with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Jusuf Nurkic likely means a reduction in shot opportunities. However, Jones is skilled enough in other areas to remain a reliable fantasy option for managers, considering he's logged 1.0 steals per game throughout his career.

Clippers Interested In Tyus Jones
According to NBA insider Michael Scotto, the Los Angeles Clippers are interested in free agent guard Tyus Jones. The former Duke Blue Devil spent last season with the Wizards, averaging a career-high 12.0 points, 7.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals while shooting 41.4% from deep. However, Jones' numbers would likely decline if he heads to Los Angeles, especially if he comes off the bench. Still, he would likely play enough minutes and draw some starts during the 2024-25 campaign, so he'll continue to have value for fantasy managers.

Tyus Jones Remains Out For Friday
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.

Tyus Jones Remains Out On Tuesday
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will remain out of the lineup against Milwaukee on Tuesday. This will mark his 10th consecutive absence due to a back problem. Jones' injury has helped Jordan Poole back into the first unit, and he should get free rein on offense against the Bucks, as Kyle Kuzma (heel) will also be missing from the lineup. Poole is coming off a 22-point, eight-assist performance across 34 minutes against Miami, but he also had a seven-point dud versus Detroit last week. Fantasy managers need to be prepared for disappointment if they put their trust in the enigmatic sharpshooter.

Tyus Jones Unavailable For Friday
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) will not play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old has a back sprain and hasn't suited up since March 14. Jordan Poole and Corey Kispert have anchored the Wizards backcourt while Jones has been unavailable. Jared Butler and Johnny Davis may also see an uptick in minutes as two of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association meet for the final time this season.

Tyus Jones Set To Miss Sixth Consecutive Game
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out of his sixth game in a row while suffering from a back issue. The former Timberwolf first experienced the back sprain after the game against the Houston Rockets on March 14 and then missed the first few games that he's missed all season. Jordan Poole (ankle) has taken over as the starting point guard in his absence, but Poole is now questionable for this contest as well. If he's unable to play too, Jared Butler is the most likely candidate to get the starting nod. Johnny Davis would be next in line off of the bench.

Tyus Jones Sits Out Saturday's Action
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game on Saturday against Toronto. Jones had played in every game this season before suffering a back injury. Jordan Poole has replaced Jones in the starting lineup. recording 17.8 points and 4.0 assists. Poole himself is questionable for Saturday's matchup, meaning Jared Butler could get a big opportunity to fill starting point guard duties. The backcourt injuries also open up playing time for Johnny Davis and Justin Champagnie.

Tyus Jones Remains Out Against Kings
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will miss a fourth straight game on Thursday versus Sacramento. He's trying to shake off a back problem and will have his next opportunity to return on Saturday against Toronto. Jordan Poole has taken over as the starting point guard in Jones' absence, with Jared Butler seeing a good amount of minutes off the pine. Poole's fantasy stock has plummeted in 2023-24, and he did poorly again last time out against Houston, but he's getting a lot of shots and can heat up in a hurry. The matchup against the Kings is set to be a run-and-gun game, with both teams pushing the pace and focusing very little on defense, which will suit Poole.
