Before the break, Jones played in just 10 of the team’s 54 games, receiving most of his minutes in garbage time situations and averaged three points and 1.9 assists in 11 minutes per game. He also shot just 33.3 percent from the field but hit on a very good 40 percent of his three-point attempts.
After the break, Jones was handed the backup point guard job as Zach LaVine was inserted into the starting lineup. Jones appeared in 27 of the 28 games following the league-wide hiatus, averaging 17.3 minutes, 4.7 points, 3.3 assists, and one steal in those games.
