College career

[edit | edit source]

During his freshman season with the Weber State Wildcats, Jones played in all 23 games and was named the Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year after averaging 8.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game and leading the conference with 37 total steals and 1.6 steals per game.[3] He was named first team All-Big Sky as a sophomore after averaging 12.6 points and a conference-high 10.6 rebounds per game and finishing third with 1.8 steals per game.[4] Jones repeated as a first team All-Big Sky selection after leading the conference again with 10.9 rebounds per game while also averaging 16.7 points and 1.6 steals per game.[5][6] After the season he entered his name into the 2023 NBA draft and was invited to both the NBA and NBA G League combines.[7] Jones ultimately withdrew in order to return to Weber State for his senior season.[8]

Professional career

[edit | edit source]

Jones was selected with the 26th overall pick by the Washington Wizards in the 2024 NBA draft.[9] His draft rights were traded later that day along with the 51st pick in the 2024 draft to the New York Knicks in exchange for the draft rights to Kyshawn George. The Knicks immediately traded Jones's draft rights to the Oklahoma City Thunder for five future second-round draft picks.[10][11] On July 6, he signed a multi-year contract with the Thunder[12] and throughout his rookie season, he has been assigned several times to the Oklahoma City Blue.[13] During the 24-25 season, Jones, along with the rest of the Thunder team, won the 2025 NBA Finals, beating the Indiana Pacers in seven.

On June 28, 2025, Jones was traded alongside a 2029 second-round pick back to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Colby Jones.[14] He was waived by the Wizards prior to the start of the regular season on October 19.[15]

On October 25, 2025, Jones was selected first overall by the South Bay Lakers in 2025 NBA G League draft.[16] For the 2025–26 season, Jones was added to the roster of the Portland Trail Blazers' NBA G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix.[17]
