DENVER JONES NEWS

Deemed questionable Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Auburn's clash with Texas A&M.

Impact Jones tweaked his ankle against Kentucky, only playing eight minutes. He managed to return to the bench, but didn't return to the game after getting hurt. He sounds as if he'll be a firm game-time call against the Aggies, but more will be known about the starting point guard's status after the updated SEC injury report drops ahead of tip-off.

Dealing with ankle issue Jones (lower leg) went to the locker room Saturday before eventually returning to the Auburn bench, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact While Jones did return to the bench, he was still walking gingerly, per King, and has yet to reenter the game. Jones logged four points, two rebounds and an assist before departing.

Scorching hot in win Jones notched 21 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 win over Vanderbilt.

Impact Jones filled it up in the Tigers' win over Vanderbilt, including a red-hot 5-of-7 shooting from downtown. It was a great bounce-back outing after a two-point shooting performance in the upset loss to Florida. His five triples tied the senior's season high, and his 21 points were his best mark on the year.

Cold shooting stretch continues Jones produced nine points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 87-74 victory over LSU.

Impact Over his last five games, Jones is shooting just 28.2 percent from the field. The point guard is still finding ways to impact the game, like with his four steals, three assists and three rebounds in a resounding victory over the Tigers, but he's now scored in the single digits in three straight games, his longest stretch of the season. Auburn has won all of its games during Jones' five-game cold stretch, but four of them were by a single possession.

Trips to foul line salvage night Jones registered 13 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 88-66 win over Mississippi State.

Impact Auburn beat Mississippi State handily, and likely would've regardless of Jones' performance. Still, the point guard struggled to find his shot, especially from distance. Jones hasn't gotten to the charity stripe all that often this season (2.3 attempts per-game), but his perfect 6-for-6 night from the line salvaged his performance.

In the midst of shooting slump Jones amassed 11 points (3-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 98-54 victory over Richmond.

Impact Jones is shooting just 26.2 percent from the field over the past five games. The guard has still hit double figure points in each of those, but he'll need to improve his efficiency moving forward. Jones has also stepped up on the glass and as a facilitator, making his game more well-rounded in 2024-2025.

Off to solid start Jones finished Wednesday's 79-56 victory over Kent State with 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes.

Impact Jones hasn't wowed yet this season, but he's playing smart basketball with seven assists to two turnovers, and he's shooting 52 percent from the floor. Jones doesn't need to be the high-volume scorer for head coach Bruce Pearl's squad if he can facilitate somewhat efficiently, and that's what he's done thus far.

Impresses in win Jones amassed 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 88-68 victory over Penn.

Impact The junior logged 12 points while making both of his free-throw attempts during Tuesday's win over Penn. Jones may have only saw 17 minutes, but showed off his abilities at the three-point line and on defense as well. Jones will continue to see solid production moving forward.

Starts and scores 18 in exhibition Jones logged 18 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds across his 22 minutes during the Tigers' game Wednesday against Auburn University Montgomery.

Impact Jones is expected to begin the Tigers' 2023-24 season as a starter, so his inclusion in their starting lineup should not be surprising. He was their best scorer Wednesday, a theme that continued from his 2022-23 season. Jones averaged 20.1 points on 47.8/37.1/84.5 shooting splits across his 28 games started with Florida International during that campaign.

Jones was a very efficient scorer as well, shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from downtown. He should garner plenty of interest from high majors in the transfer portal in the coming months.
