Jones posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during the Bucks' 110-91 Summer League win over the Hornets on Wednesday.
Jones was one of four Bucks starters to score exactly 11 points, each of whom connected on three three-pointers in Wednesday's win. The 2025 second-rounder also got his teammates involved and was one assist shy of recording a double-double. Jones inked a two-way deal with the Bucks in early July after being waived by the Pacers. He appeared in 37 regular-season games (seven starts) for Indiana last season and averaged 16.6 minutes per game. The Summer League, training camp and preseason will all serve as Jones' audition for a consistent role in the Bucks' rotation for the 2026-27 campaign.

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.

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: 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: Dealing with lower-back issue
Rotowire
Jones is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to lower-back soreness.
The rookie second-rounder may have tweaked his back during the Pacers' 131-118 loss to the Wizards on Friday, when he logged four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals over 39 minutes. 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.

Jones will start against the Jazz on Tuesday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
The Pacers will be extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Jones to step into the starting five for the first time in his young career. The rookie second-rounder has logged double-digit minutes just three times so far this season, during which he has averaged 2.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Indiana recalled Jones from the G League's Noblesville Boom on Saturday.
Jones was initially assigned to the Boom on Friday and logged 30 minutes in the G League team's win over the Birmingham Squadron before heading back to the parent club. Having played a limited role at the NBA level since recovering from a back issue in December, the guard is expected to remain a bench option for the Pacers and could feature more often in G League play if he's assigned again in the future.

Indiana recalled Jones from the G League's Noblesville Boom on Monday.
Jones has split time between both clubs after rehabbing from a major back injury but seems to be on track to become a contributor in Indiana's rotation, especially with the amount of injuries the team is dealing with.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Drops four points in garbage time
Rotowire
Jones closed with four points (2-2 FG) and two assists over seven minutes during Friday's 140-122 loss to the Celtics.
Jones was in the rotation for the third straight game, albeit barely, having now played a total of just nine minutes during that span. The fact that the Pacers continue to lose by significant margins has allowed Jones to see the court down the stretch. With that said, there is no indication he will play a meaningful role, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

Indiana recalled Jones from the G League's Noblesville Boom on Sunday.
Jones has yet to appear in a game for the Pacers but has split time with the team's G League affiliate. He will likely continue to do so for the remainder of the season and could see a role if T.J. McConnell (knee) is forced to miss time.
