Bulls' Tre Jones: Available with minutes restriction

Jones (ankle) is available with a minutes restriction of about 24 minutes for Friday's game against the Hornets, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.

Jones will return following a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, but the Bulls are taking a cautious approach with his playing time. Over his last six outings, the floor general has averaged 13.2 points, 3.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per game.
