Bucks' Kam Jones: Inks two-way deal with Milwaukee
Rotowire
Jones signed a two-way contract with the Bucks on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Jones was a second-round pick of the Pacers in the 2025 NBA Draft and averaged 4.4 points, 3.2 assists and 1.6 rebounds over 16.6 minutes per game across 37 regular-season contests (seven starts) in 2025-26. He was traded to the Bulls in June before being waived, but he'll now get a fresh start with a Bucks team that is also in a reset after trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat in June.

Kam Jones: Set to be waived
Rotowire
The Bulls plan to waive Jones, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports Tuesday.
Jones was traded along with pick swaps and cash from the Pacers to the Bulls in exchange for Braden Smith during the 2026 NBA Draft, though Jones is set to hit the open market if he clears waivers. The No. 38 overall pick in 2025, Jones appeared in 37 regular-season games (seven starts) for Indiana in 2025-26, averaging 4.4 points, 3.2 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Kam Jones: Headed to Chicago
Rotowire
The Pacers traded Jones to the Bulls on Wednesday in exchange for Braden Smith, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Jones will join a crowded backcourt in Chicago, so he could have a tough time lasting beyond training camp. Jones averaged 4.4 points and 3.2 assists across 37 games with the Pacers last season.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Plays 20 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Jones supplied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and four assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to Detroit.
Jones had some injury setbacks to open the season, limiting him to 37 NBA appearances overall. He was never close to the standard-league fantasy radar, averaging 4.4 points, 3.2 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers in 16.7 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Steps up in loss
Rotowire
Jones produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 129-108 loss to the Hornets.
Jones was back in the rotation Friday while the Pacers were without the services of Andrew Nembhard (back), Aaron Nesmith (neck) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring), and he was sure to make his minutes count. Jones failed to contribute much as a scorer, but he made an impact as a playmaker and dished out double-digit assists for the third time in 32 games this season. However, he'll likely fall back out of the fold once the Indiana backcourt returns to health, which could come as early as Sunday in Cleveland.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Scoreless in seven minutes
Rotowire
Jones finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across seven minutes during Wednesday's 127-119 loss to Portland.
Jones failed to trouble the scorers, logging just seven minutes in what was another underwhelming performance. After carving out a sizeable role at the end of February, Jones has seen his playing time fluctuate, averaging just 2.0 points in 13.4 minutes per game over the past four contests. At this point, he should simply be on watchlists, just in case his role eventuates down the stretch.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Moves back out of rotation
Rotowire
Jones (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Pacers' 101-92 loss to the Knicks.
The Pacers were without Pascal Siakam (knee) and Quenton Jackson (calf) on Friday, but the returns of T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Obi Toppin (foot) were enough to result in Jones falling back out of the rotation. The rookie guard out of Marquette had previously appeared in each of the Pacers' last three games, averaging 5.7 points, 5.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes over that stretch.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Fills in with 14 points
Rotowire
Jones posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.
Jones stepped in for the injured Andrew Nembhard (back) and produced a decent total in the loss. The Pacers selected Jones in the second round of the 2025 NBA draft with hopes that the Marquette product could help bolster the backcourt with Tyrese Haliburton unavailable for the year. Instead, the rookie played frequently with the G League's Noblesville Boom and has made minimal impact with the parent club.

Rotowire
Jones will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Jones will step into the starting lineup Tuesday with Andrew Nembhard (back) out of commission. Jones had recently fallen out of the team's rotation, but he should receive plenty of looks with the Pacers navigating a thin backcourt.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Drops out of rotation
Rotowire
Jones (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 128-117 loss to the Lakers.
After averaging 26.5 minutes per game while appearing in 11 straight games and making six starts from Feb. 3 through this past Sunday, Jones has now been removed from head coach Rick Carlisle's rotation entirely for the past two contests. The rookie's drop in playing time has coincided with the return of Aaron Nesmith (ankle), who has settled back into a starting role on the wing while playing 20-plus minutes in both of the Pacers' past two contests. While the lottery-bound Pacers remain likely to occasionally rest veterans like Nesmith over the final month of the season to open up playing time for younger players on the roster, Jones looks as though he'll be out of the mix for minutes when Indiana has all of its key guards and wings available.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Won't start Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones won't start Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Tallies first career double-double
Rotowire
Jones amassed 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
Although the 10 assists were one short of his season best, Jones recorded his first career double-double Sunday. It's possible that starter Andrew Nembhard (back) will remain at risk of sporadically sitting out for injury management down the stretch, which could keep Jones in the mix for future starts. Over his six outings as a starter, the rookie second-rounder has averaged 10.0 points, 6.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Dealing with lower-back issue
Rotowire
Jones is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to lower-back soreness.

Jones has started in two of the Pacers' last three games, and if Andrew Nembhard (back) is unable to play, then T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Quenton Jackson would be in line for bigger roles.
