On Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Tyus Jones will leave the Washington Wizards to sign a one-year, $3.3 million minimum level contract with the Phoenix Suns. Jones was the top free agent point guard for multiple weeks since the signing and negotiation period began on June 30.
In Wojnarowski’s article, Jones said that the Suns and head coach Mike Budenholzer recruited him since free agency began and that the team could be an NBA championship contender with him as the starting point guard. Last season, the Suns didn’t have a true point guard, but former Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal played extended minutes there.
