Starting Sunday Jones will start Sunday's matchup against Washington in the absence of Ja Morant (ankle), Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Reaches double figures off bench Jones recorded 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 overtime win over San Antonio.

Solid output off bench Monday Jones registered 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 121-105 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Jones moved back to the bench with Ja Morant (illness) returning to the starting lineup, and he delivered another excellent outing in a role he's absolutely comfortable in. Despite being nothing more than a bench option when the Grizzlies are at full strength, the former Timberwolves guard has scored in double digits in all but one of his seven appearances and is averaging 13.3 points, 4.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds per contest to date.

Jazz rout Grizzlies 121-105, improve to 4-0 at home

Lauri Markkanen had 31 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Utah Jazz to a 121-105 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies

Thrives in starting role Jones had 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 124-123 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Jones logged his first double-double of the season, stepping into the starting lineup for Ja Morant, who was ruled out with an illness. As he usually does in situations such as this, Jones put up big numbers on both ends of the floor. The equation here is quite simple, really. If and when Morant is unavailable, make sure Jones is on your roster. At all other times, he is more of a deeper-league commodity.

Not playing against Bucks Jones (rest) won't be available for Saturday's preseason game against the Bucks, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic.

Impact Jones is widely seen as one of the best backup point guards in the league, and there's no sense for the Grizzlies to risk him in a preseason game.
