Jones has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to a left shoulder sprain, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Jones exited Sunday's win over the Clippers during the fourth quarter due to the shoulder injury and was unable to return. During the 24-year-old's absence in Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup, Blake Wesley could see a slight uptick in playing time off the bench. Jones' next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Bulls.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Exits early Sunday
Rotowire
Jones checked out of Sunday's 127-125 win over the Kings with 8:23 remaining and didn't return due to an apparent left shoulder injury, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Jones seemed to injure the shoulder after getting hit during a screen early in the fourth quarter. He concluded the contest with seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two steals, two blocks, one rebound and one assist in 13 minutes. He should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Hands out seven assists
Rotowire
Jones closed Tuesday's 128-115 victory over Utah with two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 19 minutes.
Making just his sixth appearance of the season, Jones recorded a season-high seven assists in the win, but his jumper continues to elude him. He's now shooting 28.0 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc. He's a tough sell in fantasy when the Spurs are getting close to full strength.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Plays 19 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) ended with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds across 19 minutes during Saturday's 110-93 loss to Dallas.
Jones made his long-awaited return following a 12-game absence but made a limited impact off the bench. With Chris Paul having settled in as the Spurs' starting point guard and having thus far stayed healthy this season, Jones may continue to find himself stuck in 15-to-20-minute role in most games.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Ruled out for Saturday
Rotowire
Jones won't play against the Rockets on Saturday due to a right ankle sprain, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
It's unclear when Jones suffered the sprain, but it's bad enough to keep him sidelined for the team's upcoming contest. Jones logged three points, a rebound, three assists and a steal across 16 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to the Mavericks, and his absence will open up more minutes for Stephon Castle and, potentially, Malaki Branham. Jones will aim to recover in time to be available for the Monday rematch against Houston.

Chris Paul (rest) will get the day off, so Jones will slot into the starting backcourt spot alongside Julian Champagnie.

Jones was coming off a triple-double in the loss to Denver on Tuesday, and while his stat line Friday wasn't as impressive, he was efficient with his shot and also found a way to contribute across the board. Jones has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 outings, a span in which he's averaged 11.3 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per contest.

Rotowire
Jones ended with 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 99-97 loss to Memphis.
Jones had his fingerprints on many aspects of Friday's contest, ending as one of three Spurs with 15 or more points while handing out a team-high-tying handful of assists and coming up three boards shy of a double-double in a balanced showcase. Jones posted his 13th game with 15 or more points, ending with at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists for the sixth time this year.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Hits for team-high 22
Rotowire
Jones produced 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and nine assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-107 loss to the Mavericks.
The fourth-year point guard led the Spurs in scoring on the night as he scored 20 or more for only the third time in 21 games since the beginning of February. Jones remains a strong source of assists, but his overall fantasy profile is still sketchy -- through nine games in March, he's averaging 9.6 points, 7.7 assists, 4.0 boards, 1.1 steals and 1.0 threes.

Jones finished just three assists away from a double-double Sunday, and while he hasn't been able to sustain the scoring numbers he posted during most of January and February, he has shown clear signs of progress as a playmaker and distributor. Jones is averaging 7.4 assists while committing just 1.7 turnovers per game since the All-Star break.
