\u201cSacramento is expected to explore the trade and free agent market for point guard help,\u201d Scotto reported<\/a>. \u201cAmong several point guards on Sacramento\u2019s radar is unrestricted free agent Tyus Jones<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones, 29, is coming off his 10th NBA season, where he appeared in 81 games for the Suns and averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game. He shot 44.8% from the field and 41.4% from three-point range, continuing his reputation as one of the league\u2019s most efficient playmakers.<\/p>\n

Over the past two seasons \u2014 split between the Washington Wizards and Suns\u2014Jones has started 124 of 147 games and maintained a high level of production. During that stretch, he averaged 6.2 assists to just 1.1 turnovers per game while shooting 46.8% from the field and 41.4% from beyond the arc. His most productive campaign came with Washington, where he averaged 12 points, 7.3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game on 48.9% shooting.<\/p>\n

The Kings\u2019 interest in Jones signals a potential move to stabilize the point guard position following major roster changes. Sacramento traded All-Star guard De\u2019Aaron Fox<\/a> at the trade deadline to the San Antonio Spurs as part of a multi-team deal that brought in Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls. The team lacked a true floor general in the second half of the season, and Jones\u2019 efficient play and leadership could fill that void.<\/p>\n

Sacramento finished the 2024-25 season with a 40-42 record<\/a>, missing the playoffs after falling to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament<\/a>. Injuries, inconsistency, and a midseason roster shakeup contributed to their struggles down the stretch.<\/p>\n

Jones, a veteran guard and former Duke standout, would bring stability and experience to a retooling Kings roster aiming to return to playoff contention. With free agency approaching, Sacramento is expected to be active in reshaping its backcourt and adding reliable contributors to complement Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and franchise cornerstone Domantas Sabonis.<\/p>\n
