Jones amassed two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 12 minutes during Sunday's 110-96 loss to the Hornets.
New York opted to rest the majority of its starters, allowing Jones to play double-digit minutes for the first time this season. Given what we have seen throughout the regular season, don't expect to see Jones on the floor during the first round of the playoffs against the Hawks.

Dillon Jones: Set to be waived by Washington
Rotowire
The Wizards intend to waive Jones, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Jones will end up being the odd man out as the Wizards trim their standard roster to 15 players. The forward was acquired in a June trade with the Thunder after appearing in 54 regular-season games last season, averaging 2.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 10.2 minutes per contest.

Jones racked up 25 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes during Saturday's 94-85 Summer League win against the Knicks.
Jones finished his stint in the Las Vegas Summer League on a high note, with game highs in points and rebounds. The Thunder recently traded the Weber State product to the Wizards on June 28, and he'll aim to carve out a role with his new team during the 2025-26 campaign.
The Thunder traded Jones and a second-round pick to the Wizards on Saturday in exchange for Colby Jones, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Jones saw consistent minutes off the bench at the start of this past regular season, but he saw his playing time diminish over the course of the campaign and logged a DNP in 10 of the Thunder's 23 playoff games. The Thunder didn't have enough space on the roster for the 2024 first-rounder, who will head to Washington and have a chance to compete for a larger role.

Jones provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 10 minutes during Saturday's 143-101 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Jones tallied double-digit scoring for just the fourth time in his career, playing almost the entire fourth quarter as the Thunder handed the Timberwolves a comfortable victory. This one was basically over at halftime, with Oklahoma City offering very little in the way of resistance. Jones has been used sparingly thus far during the postseason, appearing only when the game gets out of hand.

Rotowire
Jones recorded 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 115-100 win over the Pelicans.
Jones filled a larger role Sunday as the team rested many key rotational players in the regular-season finale. Jones was able to produce in the expanded role, logging career highs in scoring and rebounds. The rookie forward will likely shift back to a minimal role for the start of the playoffs.
