Sacramento Kings rookie Isaac Jones has been upgraded from a two-way contract to a standard NBA deal, the team announced. The news was first reported by Shams Charania of ESPN.
Jones will reportedly sign a two-year contract with the Kings that will likely be non-guaranteed in the second year. He will now be eligible to play in the postseason on a standard contract for the Kings, who are ninth in the Western Conference (35-35).
The undrafted forward from Washington State is averaging 3.7 points and 1.5 rebounds on 67.6% shooting from the field in 31 appearances with the Kings. He has scored in double figures three times, including 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal on March 10.
Jones has spent part of the season in the G League, averaging 21.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, one steal and one block on 56.7% shooting from the field in 15 games with the Stockton Kings. He produced a career-high 42 points and five rebounds on Jan. 20.
The 24-year-old earned G League Player of the Week honors earlier this season after averaging 30.3 points, 10 rebounds, 1.8 assists and one block on 42.1% shooting from 3-point range from Jan. 21-27. He led all players in the G League in total scoring (121) and field goals (50).
Jones was recognized for his play with Stockton after receiving an invitation to play in the G League Up Next Game at NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, California. He totaled eight points, two rebounds and two assists in two games.
