Jones (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta.
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.

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.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Quiet outing in win
Rotowire
Jones closed with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Posts 12 points in win
Rotowire
Jones ended with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 142-138 overtime victory over the Timberwolves.
Jones had significant minutes given the overtime in Thursday's contest, and he recorded his second-most rebounds this season. While he's not among the team's top three contributors in any category, Jones has now started 15 times in a row, recording multiple steals in six of those appearances.
Jones closed Monday's 135-112 win over the Jazz with three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes.

Jones closed Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 41 minutes.

The second-year forward has started 10 straight games with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) in street clothes, and over that stretch, Jones is averaging 8.2 points, 3.9 boards, 1.3 threes, 0.8 assists and 1.1 combined steals and blocks in 25.6 minutes a contest while shooting a surprising 56.4 percent from the floor and 44.8 percent (13-for-29) from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Career-best performance
Rotowire
Jones totaled 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 27 minutes during Saturday's 130-112 victory over the Suns.
Jones fell one rebound short of his first career double-double, although he did manage to put up career-high numbers in both points and rebounds. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, the fact that he had scored a total of 13 points in his previous six games should ensure managers are hesitant when it comes to adding him in standard leagues.
