What changed

Last season (2025-26)

3-point rate-16 ptsProbably real

Jones's 3-point rate is down 16 points over his 19 games since Feb 4 (43% vs 59%). The likely reason: Peyton Watson (31 MPG before) played only 5 of 25 games, plus 1 more key player out. Also the starting role change: he started 4 of 19 games, down from 33 of 44. Probably real: about 65% should hold.

Day-To-DayIt appears unlikely that Jones will be recovered from a hamstring injury in time to receive any preseason reps. Given where he's at in his rehab, Jones' status for the start of the regular season is in limbo as well. Expected back: 2026-10-22.
