Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out of his sixth game in a row while suffering from a back issue.

Jordan Poole (ankle) has taken over as the starting point guard in his absence, but Poole is now questionable for this contest as well. If he's unable to play too, Jared Butler is the most likely candidate to get the starting nod. Johnny Davis would be next in line off of the bench.

Thu Mar 2109:49Tyus Jones Remains Out Against Kings
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will miss a fourth straight game on Thursday versus Sacramento. He's trying to shake off a back problem and will have his next opportunity to return on Saturday against Toronto. Jordan Poole has taken over as the starting point guard in Jones' absence, with Jared Butler seeing a good amount of minutes off the pine. Poole's fantasy stock has plummeted in 2023-24, and he did poorly again last time out against Houston, but he's getting a lot of shots and can heat up in a hurry. The matchup against the Kings is set to be a run-and-gun game, with both teams pushing the pace and focusing very little on defense, which will suit Poole.

Mon Mar 1820:29Tyus Jones Won't Play On Tuesday
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jones has missed each of the last two games and appears to be in line for a third straight absence. Jordan Poole has been asked to move into the starting five and he has played well there. Poole posted a 31-point performance during their last game against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. That being said, Poole appears to be worth the risk as a fantasy option while he's given extra run as a starter.

Sun Mar 1716:36Tyus Jones Not Ready To Return On Sunday
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will be out for a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston. He missed his first contest of the season on Saturday against Chicago and will need a bit more time to get over a back issue. Jordan Poole was back among the starters against the Bulls, posting 15 points and eight assists in 23 minutes. The game turned into a blowout quickly, and even backup point guard Jared Butler logged 22 minutes of action. Another one-sided affair could be on the cards on Sunday against the league leaders, so Poole might not be able to improve his numbers much. Butler was already quiet on Saturday and will likely find it even harder to make an impact in Sunday's game.

Sat Mar 1618:50Tyus Jones Won't Play Against Chicago
Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with the Bulls. He was already doubtful for the game with lower back spasms, so Jones' absence won't come as a surprise. Impressively, he had so far featured in every game for Washington this season. Jordan Poole has started to rebuild his fantasy reputation lately and should get a further boost from Jones' absence on Saturday, while Jared Butler will also get an opportunity to log much bigger minutes than usual.

Fri Mar 1516:43Tyus Jones Not Expected To Play Saturday
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) is reportedly suffering from back spasms and has officially been listed as doubtful for their Saturday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. This is going to be Jones' first missed game all season. He's been one of the only consistently available players for the Wizards this year, so fantasy managers will have to find a backup plan for once. Jones was able to play in their last game against the Houston Rockets and even played a full 31 minutes, so it's unclear when the issue came to light. In his place, Jordan Poole will probably move into the starting lineup again while Jared Butler should see some added minutes as well.

Sun Feb 415:06Tyus Jones Will Suit Up Versus Phoenix
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. The 27-year-old sprained his ankle on Friday against Miami and carried a questionable tag heading into Sunday's matinee. Fortunately, the Wizards will have him in the lineup, which is good news, considering the team won't have Kyle Kuzma (shoulder). Jones has averaged a career-high 12.1 points and 6.3 dimes this season. Although his assists numbers could dip without Kuzma on the floor, he could easily make up for it on the scoring end.

Sun Feb 400:09Tyus Jones Questionable Against Phoenix
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Phoenix. He tweaked his ankle during Friday's outing with the Miami Heat, ending his night after 26 minutes of action. There's a good chance the team will keep the 27-year-old off the floor against the Suns, meaning his next opportunity to suit up will be for Wednesday's clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But if Jones isn't active, Jordan Poole will presumably take over most of the ball-handling duties. With Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) out, Corey Kispert, who had 26 points against the Heat, will likely enter the starting lineup, with Landry Shamet and Delon Wright getting more work from off the bench.

Fri Feb 221:33Tyus Jones Done For Rest Of Friday Night
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) won't return to Friday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He struggled before the injury and ended the night with six points off 2-for-7 shooting. Washington's next contest is on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, and it's certainly possible that Jones will carry some kind of injury designation heading into that one. But if the ankle issue keeps him off the floor, Corey Kispert might enter the starting lineup, with Jordan Poole taking over most of the ball handling duties.

Fri Aug 11 202321:29Tyus Jones Expected To Start This Season?
The Athletic's Josh Robbins believes Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones will be the team's starter on opening night, "barring injury." Jones has handled the responsibility quite well in the past, averaging 12.1 points, 6.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 31.5 minutes over 94 games as a starter in his career. The 27-year-old is staring at perhaps the largest workload of his eight-year career in Washington, but combo guard Delon Wright is sure to have a significant role as well. The Wizards have a ton of usage up for grabs in 2023-2024 with Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis now out of the picture.

Thu Jun 22 202309:59Tyus Jones Lands In Washington In Three-Team Trade
The Washington Wizards picked up Tyus Jones from the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team trade Wednesday, sending Kristaps Porzingis to Boston. Memphis replaced the Los Angeles Clippers in the deal surrounding Porzingis after doubts emerged regarding Malcolm Brogdon's health. Jones was reportedly unhappy with his role in Memphis, as he's made only 45 starts across the last two campaigns. The 27-year-old point guard has proven himself as a very useful player as a starter and should now fill the role regularly in D.C. Jones averaged 16.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.8 steals as a member of the starting unit last season.

Tue Jun 20 202318:36Grizzlies, Tyus Jones Working Together To Find A Trade Partner
Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones has been a tremendous contributor to the team's success due to the health and suspensions of star point guard Ja Morant. He's shown through stretches of starter's minutes that he can contribute at a bigger level than the role they have for him. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the two parties are working together to find a team where he can take on a starting role. He still has one year left on his contract and he's fresh off of a career year where he had new highs in points, assists, and rebounds.

Mon May 15 202323:01Tyus Jones Unlikely To Get Traded
According to Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones won't go on the trade block. With Ja Morant facing a lengthy suspension for allegedly brandishing a handgun during an Instagram Live video, Memphis will need Jones on the roster and in the starting lineup. The 27-year-old started 22 games during the regular season, averaging 16.4 points, 8.1 assists, and 1.8 steals. Although Morant obviously is more talented, Jones' fantasy stock may rise substantially heading into the 2023-24 campaign if the former receives a hefty punishment.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones (foot) is one of three players with bigger roles that are all considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. They were all added to the injury report mid-afternoon on Wednesday. Jones was likely moving back to the bench since Ja Morant is expected to play, but that still means around 20 minutes will be up for grabs. David Roddy could be in line for some more minutes if John Konchar (hip) doesn't play.

He added two steals on the defensive end and finished with 7-for-15 shooting from the field while hitting 3-for-7 from deep. Friday's performance puts Jones' numbers as a starter this season at 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists. He's been very impressive with his work, but Jones' fun is about to end, with Ja Morant set to rejoin the team Monday. Saturday's clash with the Warriors marks the final game of Morant's eight-game suspension.

Fri Mar 10 202311:01Tyus Jones Grabs A Double-Double Against Golden State

In the blowout win over the Warriors, Jones put up 22 points, 11 assists, four rebounds, and three steals while shooting 8-for-17 from the floor and adding three made shots from deep. Over his last three starts, the 26-year-old is averaging 21.0 points, 8.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 steals per game. If any fantasy managers are missing Morant or need a guard, they need to add Jones right now until Morant gets back.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 26-year-old has been cleared to play after dealing with a non-COVID related illness.

Jones is having a good season playing behind Ja Morant, averaging 10.2 points with 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals. John Konchar should pick up most of Jones' minutes if he indeed has to watch the game from the sidelines. It would be a further boost for Konchar's fantasy value, with the 26-year-old having enjoyed a productive season off the Grizzlies bench.
