Traded to OKC, set to be released The Wizards traded Jones to the Thunder on Saturday in exchange for Dillon Jones and a 2029 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Jones will eventually be released by the Thunder, which will allow the 2023 second-rounder to enter the market as an unrestricted free agent. Jones saw his role expand towards the end of the 2024-25 regular season. Over his last 14 games, he averaged 9.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals over 27.5 minutes per contest while shooting 46.6 percent from the field.

Wraps up season with double-double Jones chipped in 20 points (9-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists over 42 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-118 victory over the Heat.
Impact The Wizards went with a short seven-man rotation in the season finale, leading Jones to his first career double-double as he soaked up all the court time he could handle. The second-year wing played at least 30 minutes in six of his last eight appearances in 2024-25, averaging 10.6 points, 5.4 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 threes in 32.5 minutes a contest over that span.

Impact Jones continues to get an extended look from the Wizards with most of the key players being held out for injuries and maintenance. Over his last six games, Jones has flirted with top-100 production in nine-category formats, posting averages of 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes.

Out Wednesday with injury Jones is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a right lower leg contusion.
Impact Jones may have sustained the injury while playing 40 minutes Tuesday in the G League Capital City Go-Go's 115-95 playoff loss to the Maine Celtics. Though he has since rejoined the Wizards and will be available at the NBA level for the rest of the season, Jones can be viewed as day-to-day while he manages the leg contusion.

Recalled to NBA Washington recalled Jones from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Wednesday.
Impact After producing 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 115-95 playoff G League loss, Jones is back with the Wizards and will be available for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Assigned to G League Washington assigned Jones to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Monday.
Impact Jones is coming off a strong showing for the Wizards, producing 20 points (7-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 115-112 loss to Brooklyn. The Go-Go are scheduled to face the Maine Celtics in the G League playoffs on Monday, however, so Jones is being called upon to assist the team.

Strong showing vs. Brooklyn Jones totaled 20 points (7-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 115-112 loss to Brooklyn.
Impact Jones was one of the best players for the Wizards in this tight loss to the Nets, and he posted his second-best scoring output of the campaign. As if that 20-point showing wasn't enough, Jones also delivered decent numbers in other categories, particularly in the assists and steals departments. Jones has scored in double digits in just three appearances this season, however, so it's hard to rely on him for sustained scoring production.

Impact Washington's rotation is a bit of a mess these days, but Jones has fared well for the most part. In six appearances with his new team, Jones holds averages of 6.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals on 58.3 percent shooting in 16.3 minutes.

Colby Jones Wizards breakout game: Former Xavier guard scores 24 points vs Jazz Colby Jones scored a total of two points in his first two games for the Wizards. Wednesday, he went for a game-high 24 in Utah.

Career-high 24 points off bench Jones racked up 24 points (9-11 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Jones led the team in scoring off the bench Wednesday, establishing a new career high with his 24 points. The 15-53 Wizards have begun giving their starters and reserves a fairly even split in playing time in each of their past two games, so Jones may be able to carve out a meaningful role down the stretch. The 22-year-old has logged at least 24 minutes in consecutive contests, and fantasy managers should keep an eye on his workload.

Jones will rejoin the Wizards ahead of Thursday's contest, but it's unclear if he'll be available.
