Jones recorded two assists in 10 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 loss to the Celtics.
Jones has not played consistently despite Jalen Suggs managing a knee injury, and has likely ceded minutes to Anthony Black. While Jones will see increased playing time with Suggs out Monday, he has yet to provide a compelling case for more minutes when he is on the court, averaging just 2.0 points, 1.3 assists, 0.9 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Supplies six points
Rotowire
Jones recorded six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 victory over the Wizards.
Jones didn't post flashy numbers but provided steady, efficient minutes off the bench Saturday. The Duke product, in his first season with the Magic after spending 2024-25 with the Suns, is a proven and reliable presence as the primary backup point guard behind Jalen Suggs. While his statistical output and fantasy relevance are limited in this role, the veteran's value as a stabilizing depth piece for Orlando is clear.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Quiet in spot start
Rotowire
Jones provided zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 loss to Chicago.
Jones was unable to make his way into the scoring column despite starting in place of Jalen Suggs (knee). Anthony Black was the player in the Magic backcourt who truly benefitted from Suggs' absence, leading the bench with 19 points in 30 minutes. Jones has had a sluggish beginning to the new season, failing to score in two of his first three games.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Reverts back to bench
Rotowire
Jones will come off the bench in Wednesday's season opener against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Jalen Suggs will replace Jones in the starting lineup after the latter started during the preseason. Jones should still be a decent source of assists from the second unit this year.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Muted performance in win
Rotowire
Jones recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five assists, one rebound and one steal in 24 minutes of Thursday's 132-125 preseason win over New Orleans.
Jones started Thursday's game in what looked to be a dress rehearsal for Opening Night. Jalen Suggs (knee) is progressing, but his status for the beginning of the season remains in the air. Jones could be a fill-in starter in the meantime, but he's had a really quiet preseason with 3.3 points, 2.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 17.2 minutes across four appearances.

Jones made his second straight start of the preseason with Jalen Suggs (knee) on the shelf. Suggs is iffy for Opening Night at this point, but Jones isn't a lock to start if Suggs is unavailable -- Anthony Black made a strong impression off the bench Friday with 12 points and five assists in 21 minutes.

Magic's Tyus Jones: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Jones will start in Saturday's preseason game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
With Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined, Jones will get the starting nod in the club's preseason opener. The veteran point guard signed a one-year, $7 million deal with Orlando this summer after spending the 2024-25 campaign with the Suns, during which he averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 26.8 minutes per game in 81 regular-season appearances (58 starts).
Jones agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with the Magic on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The veteran point guard will provide the Magic with backcourt depth, competing with Anthony Black for minutes at the point behind Jalen Suggs (knee). Jones appeared in 81 regular-season games (58 starts) in 2024-25, averaging 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers across 26.8 minutes per contest. He also shot a career-high-tying 41.4 percent from beyond the arc. Jones is a capable facilitator who will help take some of the playmaking load off the club's top options -- Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Desmond Bane and Suggs.
Jones supplied 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings.
Jones was one of the role players who posted a solid line in this regular-season finale. The veteran floor general showed he can be a regular starter throughout the season. Still, he was mostly limited to a bench status once the Big Three of Bradley Beal (rest), Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant (ankle) was healthy. Jones averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game in 81 appearances (58 starts).
