Phoenix Suns Sign Tyus Jones to One-Year Deal

PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns have bolstered their roster by signing point guard Tyus Jones to a one-year contract. This move aims to enhance the team's performance alongside its star trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. Jones confirmed the signing in a statement to ESPN, which was also shared by his agency, LIFT Sports Management. Standing at 6-foot-1, Jones is entering his 10th season in the NBA. Last year, he played for the Washington Wizards, where he averaged 12 points and 7.3 assists per game. His experience includes four seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves and another four with the Memphis Grizzlies, showcasing his versatility and skill as a point guard. Jones had an impressive shooting performance last season, hitting 49% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc. His addition to the Suns could provide the team with the true point guard they lacked during the previous season, which ended in disappointment as they were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Timberwolves. With the signing of Jones, the Suns are looking to strengthen their lineup and improve their chances in the upcoming season, aiming for a deeper playoff run and potentially contending for the championship.
