Minneapolis/St. Paul –The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the club has assigned rookie guard Tyus Jones to the Idaho Stampede of the NBA Development League pursuant to the Flexible Assignment Rule. Jones has appeared in two games with the Wolves this season, playing a total of 14 minutes.
“Going to Idaho will allow Tyus to get some game experience at the professional level,” said Wolves general manager Milt Newton. “With our depth at point guard, we haven’t been able to get Tyus the playing time that he needs.
