Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Jones was previously listed as questionable due to a right shoulder strain, an injury he appeared to aggravate during Friday's overtime loss to the Thunder. The second-year forward has dealt with a string of absences in February, previously missing time due to a concussion. With Jones sidelined Sunday alongside Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring), the Nuggets will likely lean more heavily on Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown to fill minutes on the wing.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Jones is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota due to a right shoulder strain.
Jones managed to shed his questionable tag ahead of Friday's overtime loss to the Thunder, committing a foul in two minutes of action. He's now is danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to the shoulder injury, and if he's ultimately ruled out, Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown would be candidates to see a slight uptick in playing time. Jones has averaged 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds across 17.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Nabs first career double-double
Rotowire
Jones notched 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 157-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.
The second-year forward saw some extra run in the rout, and he used the opportunity to record his first career double-double. Even with Nikola Jokic and Cameron Johnson both healthy, Jones should still have a significant role in the frontcourt while Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) are on the shelf, but Jones will need to stay on the court himself -- he's missed four of eight February games, three due to a concussion and one due to a coach's decision.

Rotowire
Jones (concussion) won't play Wednesday against the Grizzlies, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Jones is in the final stages of the league's concussion protocol, so while he won't be available for Wednesday's game, there's a reasonable chance he'll be cleared for Denver's first match after the All-Star break Feb. 19 against the Clippers. Julian Strawther has been the primary beneficiary with Jones sidelined.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Gets standard contract
Rotowire
The Nuggets will convert Jones (head) from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract ahead of their next game Saturday in Chicago, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.
Jones had reached his allotted limit of 50 games as an active player at the NBA level, so converting him to a standard deal was a necessity in ensuring his availability for the remainder of the season. The second-year forward will now turn his focus toward getting healthy, after he was forced out of Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Knicks with a head contusion and was sent in for a concussion evaluation. Across his 46 appearances on the season, Jones has connected on 50.5 percent of his attempts from the field while averaging 6.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Early exit Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones exited Wednesday's 134-127 double-overtime loss to the Knicks after the first quarter due to a head contusion and didn't return. He finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one steal and one block.
Jones suffered the injury when he butted heads with the Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns late in the first quarter. Per Katy Winge of Altitude Sports, Jones was being evaluated for a concussion, and the Nuggets didn't want to risk his health by having him return. Even if Jones doesn't land in concussion protocol and is cleared in advance of Nuggets' next game Saturday in Chicago, he could still be inactive for the contest. Jones has now been active for the maximum 50 games allotted to two-way players, so the Nuggets will need to convert him to a standard NBA contract in order for him to be eligible to play again this season.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Questionable to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones (head) is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Jones went to the locker room after colliding with Karl-Anthony Towns in the first quarter, and the former is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Wednesday's game. Julian Strawther and Bruce Brown should see more minutes off the bench for as long as Jones is sidelined.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Back in lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks.
After he was inactive for Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Knicks, Jones will return to action Wednesday as a member of Denver's starting five. Since Jones will be active for his 50th game of the season Wednesday, the Nuggets will need to convert his two-way deal to a standard NBA contract in order for him to be eligible to play again this season. Jalen Pickett will head to the bench to make room on the top unit for Jones, who is averaging 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 0.9 assists in 28.4 minutes per game in 34 outings since becoming a regular starter in late November.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Sitting out Tuesday
Rotowire
Jones (coach's decision) will be inactive for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
The second-year forward had started each of Denver's last five games, but he'll cede his spot in the lineup to Christian Braun (ankle), who will be making his return from a 12-game absence. Jones won't be available off the bench, either; he's been active for 49 regular-season games on the campaign and can suit up just once more until the Nuggets convert him from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract.
