"In eight games since joining the Mavericks in early February, Jones averaged 8.1 assists per 36 minutes -- and had a 6.0 assist-to-turnover ratio, which ranked third-best in the NBA during that span, according to ESPN Research."
"Jones gives the Nuggets an experienced ball-handler and game manager as a reserve behind Jamal Murray. This season, the Nuggets average the third-fewest assists per game off the bench (6.5) in the NBA -- ahead of only the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers."
"The best stretch of Jones' career came with Memphis in 2021-22 and 2022-23, when he garnered votes for Sixth Man of the Year while averaging 9.5 points and 4.8 assists across 153 games."
Tyus Jones, a 29-year-old veteran point guard in his 11th NBA season, agreed to sign with the Denver Nuggets. Jones began the season with the Orlando Magic before being traded to the Charlotte Hornets and then the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline. The Mavericks waived him to create roster space for Ryan Nembhard. During his eight games with Dallas, Jones averaged 8.1 assists per 36 minutes with a 6.0 assist-to-turnover ratio, ranking third-best in the NBA during that period. The Nuggets sought an experienced ball-handler and reserve point guard, as their bench ranks third-lowest in assists per game. Jones previously had strong seasons with Memphis in 2021-22 and 2022-23, averaging 9.5 points and 4.8 assists.
