Sent to Washington The Thunder traded Jones and a second-round pick to the Wizards on Saturday in exchange for Colby Jones, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Jones saw consistent minutes off the bench at the start of the regular season, but he saw his playing time diminish over the course of the season and logged a DNP in 10 of the Thunder's 23 playoff games. The Thunder didn't have enough space on the roster for the 2024 first-rounder, who will head to Washington and have a chance to compete for a larger role.

The forward saw limited action throughout the playoffs, appearing in 10 of 23 games and averaging 4.6 minutes. Jones' role was similarly modest in the regular season, where he logged 10.2 minutes per game across 54 appearances (three starts), contributing 2.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

Impact Jones tallied double-digit scoring for just the fourth time in his career, playing almost the entire fourth quarter as the Thunder handed the Timberwolves a comfortable victory. This one was basically over at halftime, with Oklahoma City offering very little in the way of resistance. Jones has been used sparingly thus far during the postseason, appearing only when the game gets out of hand.

Bench role for Game 1 vs. Memphis Jones will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact After starting the last two games of the regular season, Jones will revert back to the second unit for Oklahoma City on Sunday. In 51 games in a reserve role, the rookie forward averaged 2.0 points and 1.9 rebounds per game while shooting 35.7 percent from the field.

First career double-double Jones recorded 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 115-100 win over the Pelicans.
Impact Jones was hoisted into a larger role Sunday as the team rested many key rotational players in the regular season finale. Jones was able to produce in the expanded role, logging career-highs in scoring and rebounds. The rookie forward will likely shift back to a minimal role for the start of the playoffs.

Posts solid line Jones closed with 11 points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 win over the 76ers.
Impact The Thunder rested multiple players Wednesday, allowing Jones to make his first career start. Oklahoma City has run away with the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, so this likely won't be Jones' last big opportunity to see extended minutes. Fantasy managers will probably want to look elsewhere for value when the Thunder are at full strength, however.

Recalled by OKC The Thunder recalled Jones from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday.
Impact Jones played for the Blue on Wednesday and registered 12 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in a 117-102 win over the Salt Lake City Stars. Jones was able to play 25 minutes during Friday's 107-89 win over the Trail Blazers due to the Thunder dealing with a plethora of injuries, and the rookie first-round pick finished with six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal. Jones could have his number called against the Nuggets on Sunday if the Thunder are without the likes of Chet Holmgren (lower leg), Jalen Williams (wrist) and Luguentz Dort (knee).
