The main return for the Washington Wizards in the Kristaps Porzingis trade that sent him to the Boston Celtics was Tyus Jones from the Memphis Grizzlies. Jones, who has been a long-time quality backup point guard in the league, is finally getting the opportunity to run point for his own team. It will be exciting to see what he does with a bigger role and more playing time with the Wizards.
Jones, a 6-foot guard out of Duke, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves, before signing as a free agent with the Grizzlies in 2019 and extending his contract with them in 2022.
