Detroit assigned Jones to the G League's Motor City Cruise on Wednesday.
Jones has logged a single minute of action with Detroit at the NBA level this season, so this move to get him more live reps makes a lot of sense.

Rotowire

Pistons' Isaac Jones: Claimed by Pistons
Rotowire
The Pistons claimed Jones off waivers Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Jones was waived by the Kings on Tuesday, but he didn't spend too much time as a free agent since the Pistons scooped him up. The big man will occupy Detroit's 15th roster spot and should add depth in the frontcourt, but he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside.

Kings' Isaac Jones: Limited run in season debut
Rotowire
Jones (illness) recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes in Friday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.
Jones sat out Wednesday's season-opening four-point loss to the Suns while recovering from an illness, but the second-year big man received the green light for the second game of the campaign. With Keegan Murray (thumb) on the mend from surgery and with rookie first-round pick Nique Clifford (hamstring) also likely to be sidelined into November, Jones stepped in on the top unit but didn't handle starter-level minutes. Jones might see his playing time rise once he's further removed from the illness, though head coach Doug Christie could prefer to use a medley of players at power forward until one or both of Murray and Clifford return rather than relying heavily on Jones.

After sitting out Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Suns due to an illness, Jones will make his debut Friday as a member of the top unit while the Kings remain without Keegan Murray (thumb).

Kings' Isaac Jones: Scores double digits in start
Rotowire
Jones tallied 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Friday's 117-116 preseason win over the Lakers.
The second-year forward made the most of his lone preseason start, which included splitting a pair of clutch free throws late in the fourth quarter to seal the game. Jones isn't projected to make Sacramento's rotation headed into the regular season, but starting in the team's last preseason game is an encouraging sign that he may make the final roster.

Rotowire
Jones produced 12 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 133-104 loss to New York.
This game was over in a hurry, allowing the rookie center to get some extra reps. He made the most of them, matching his career-high mark in points (12) and rebounds (5). Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) is scheduled to be re-evaluated Tuesday, and minutes will be tough to come by for Jones once the franchise center gets the green light to return.
