Jones contributed three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and six assists over 25 minutes during Sunday's 138-129 loss to the Celtics.
Jones set season-highs in assists and minutes played Sunday, which is likely due to Jalen Suggs (rest) not playing the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back. With Suggs expected to return Tuesday against Philadelphia, Jones' role will likely be reduced.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Hits two three-pointers in win
Rotowire
Jones registered eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 win over Golden State.
Prior to Tuesday's game, Jones went seven straight without scoring, so it was nice to see him break his elongated shooting slump and go perfect from the field. However, with season averages of 1.9 points on 31.6 percent from the field and 19 percent from three, Jones has a long way to make a stronger case for more playing time.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Muted in loss
Rotowire
Jones recorded two assists in 10 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 loss to the Celtics.
Jones has not played consistently despite Jalen Suggs managing a knee injury, and has likely ceded minutes to Anthony Black. While Jones will see increased playing time with Suggs out Monday, he has yet to provide a compelling case for more minutes when he is on the court, averaging just 2.0 points, 1.3 assists, 0.9 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Supplies six points
Rotowire
Jones recorded six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 victory over the Wizards.
Jones didn't post flashy numbers but provided steady, efficient minutes off the bench Saturday. The Duke product, in his first season with the Magic after spending 2024-25 with the Suns, is a proven and reliable presence as the primary backup point guard behind Jalen Suggs. While his statistical output and fantasy relevance are limited in this role, the veteran's value as a stabilizing depth piece for Orlando is clear.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Quiet in spot start
Rotowire
Jones provided zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 loss to Chicago.
Jones was unable to make his way into the scoring column despite starting in place of Jalen Suggs (knee). Anthony Black was the player in the Magic backcourt who truly benefitted from Suggs' absence, leading the bench with 19 points in 30 minutes. Jones has had a sluggish beginning to the new season, failing to score in two of his first three games.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Reverts back to bench
Rotowire
Jones will come off the bench in Wednesday's season opener against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Jalen Suggs will replace Jones in the starting lineup after the latter started during the preseason. Jones should still be a decent source of assists from the second unit this year.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Muted performance in win
Rotowire
Jones recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five assists, one rebound and one steal in 24 minutes of Thursday's 132-125 preseason win over New Orleans.
Jones started Thursday's game in what looked to be a dress rehearsal for Opening Night. Jalen Suggs (knee) is progressing, but his status for the beginning of the season remains in the air. Jones could be a fill-in starter in the meantime, but he's had a really quiet preseason with 3.3 points, 2.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 17.2 minutes across four appearances.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Jones will start in Saturday's preseason game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
With Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined, Jones will get the starting nod in the club's preseason opener. The veteran point guard signed a one-year, $7 million deal with Orlando this summer after spending the 2024-25 campaign with the Suns, during which he averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 26.8 minutes per game in 81 regular-season appearances (58 starts).

Magic's Tyus Jones: Signs pact with Orlando
Rotowire
Jones agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with the Magic on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The veteran point guard will provide the Magic with backcourt depth, competing with Anthony Black for minutes at the point behind Jalen Suggs (knee). Jones appeared in 81 regular-season games (58 starts) in 2024-25, averaging 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers across 26.8 minutes per contest. He also shot a career-high-tying 41.4 percent from beyond the arc. Jones is a capable facilitator who will help take some of the playmaking load off the club's top options -- Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Desmond Bane and Suggs.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Efficient shooting performance
Rotowire
Jones supplied 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings.
Jones was one of the role players who posted a solid line in this regular-season finale. The veteran floor general showed he can be a regular starter throughout the season. Still, he was mostly limited to a bench status once the Big Three of Bradley Beal (rest), Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant (ankle) was healthy. Jones averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game in 81 appearances (58 starts).

Suns' Tyus Jones: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Jones is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Kings on Sunday.
Jones has come off the bench in 20 of the Suns' last 21 games, but he'll start in the regular-season finale due to the absences of Devin Booker (calf) and Bradley Beal (rest). Jones has averaged 8.5 points, 2.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 19.0 minutes per game since the beginning of April.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Hands out six dimes
Rotowire
Jones provided 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Friday's 123-103 loss to the Celtics.
Devin Booker was the Suns' go-to option on offense due to the absence of Kevin Durant (ankle) and the woeful performance of Bradley Beal (hamstring). Still, among the players with secondary roles, Jones did a good job as a scorer and playmaker. The veteran floor general has scored in double digits in three of his last seven outings off the bench. While he's not going to steal the starting role off Collin Gillespie anytime soon, Jones could be worth a look in deep category-based leagues as a streaming option.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Produces 16 points
Rotowire
Jones logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 133-123 loss to Milwaukee.
With Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (hamstring) both on the shelf, more usage could continue to trickle down to Jones. However, he's been quiet prior to Tuesday, as he's averaging 9.3 points, 3.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers over his last four outings.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Perfect from long range Friday
Rotowire
Jones chipped in 20 points (6-7 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 122-106 victory over the Kings.
The 20 points represented Jones' best output since he delivered 21 against the Grizzlies on New Year's Eve. The six made threes also tied his season high, and the 28-year-old guard has scored in double digits in three straight contests while going 13-for-17 from beyond the arc.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones is not in the Suns' starting lineup against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Jones started in Monday's loss to the Grizzlies and finished with 12 points, seven assists, three rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes. He will revert to a reserve role Wednesday due to the return of Bradley Beal (calf).

Suns' Tyus Jones: Hands out seven assists
Rotowire
Jones logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
Jones moved into a starting role Monday due to the absence of Bradley Beal (calf) and thrived as a playmaker, ending just three dimes away from recording a double-double. Jones also scored in double digits for the second time in five March appearances, but it'd be a stretch to rely on him to provide sustained scoring numbers. In fact, Jones' fantasy upside is tied to Beal's availability, as the former doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal if he comes off the bench.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Starting sans Beal
Rotowire
Jones will start in Monday's game against Memphis, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
The 28-year-old point guard will return to the starting five due to Bradley Beal (calf) being sidelined. Over 10 outings (three starts) since the All-Star break, Jones has averaged 5.6 points, 4.8 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 21.4 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Jones will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Hands out 12 assists in start
Rotowire
Jones accumulated 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Pelicans.
Jones moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Bradley Beal (calf), and the veteran floor general made the most of the opportunity by dishing double-digit dimes for the first time since Feb. 8. Beal's status for the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Pelicans is uncertain, but if he can't go, Jones is expected to remain in the starting lineup.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Coming off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Jones is not in the Suns' starting lineup against the Bulls on Saturday.
