Tyus Jones Shines with Phoenix Suns Despite Recent Injuries
Tyus Jones, the point guard for the Phoenix Suns, has been making significant contributions to his team despite a recent history of injuries. In the 2024-25 season, Jones has averaged 10.0 points per game, 3.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, showcasing his versatility on the court.
Recently, Jones had a notable performance against the Los Angeles Clippers on October 23, 2024, where he scored 11 points, grabbed 2 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists. This game highlighted his ability to manage the game effectively and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Despite his strong performances, Jones has had to deal with back injuries that kept him out of several games towards the end of the previous season with the Washington Wizards. However, he seems to have recovered well and is now an integral part of the Phoenix Suns’ lineup.
Jones’ presence on the court has also had a positive impact on other players. For instance, his playmaking skills have helped Bradley Beal reduce his dribbling time before attempting shots, leading to a significant improvement in Beal’s three-point shooting percentage to nearly a career high of 42.1%.
In upcoming games, Jones is projected to continue his strong form, with projections indicating he will average around 12.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. His next games are against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers.
