Jones agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with the Magic on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The veteran point guard will provide the Magic with backcourt depth, competing with Anthony Black for minutes at the point behind Jalen Suggs (knee). Jones appeared in 81 regular-season games (58 starts) in 2024-25, averaging 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers across 26.8 minutes per contest. He also shot a career-high-tying 41.4 percent from beyond the arc. Jones is a capable facilitator who will help take some of the playmaking load off the club's top options -- Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Desmond Bane and Suggs.
Jones supplied 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings.
Jones was one of the role players who posted a solid line in this regular-season finale. The veteran floor general showed he can be a regular starter throughout the season. Still, he was mostly limited to a bench status once the Big Three of Bradley Beal (rest), Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant (ankle) was healthy. Jones averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game in 81 appearances (58 starts).

Suns' Tyus Jones: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Jones is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Kings on Sunday.
Jones has come off the bench in 20 of the Suns' last 21 games, but he'll start in the regular-season finale due to the absences of Devin Booker (calf) and Bradley Beal (rest). Jones has averaged 8.5 points, 2.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 19.0 minutes per game since the beginning of April.
Jones provided 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Friday's 123-103 loss to the Celtics.
Devin Booker was the Suns' go-to option on offense due to the absence of Kevin Durant (ankle) and the woeful performance of Bradley Beal (hamstring). Still, among the players with secondary roles, Jones did a good job as a scorer and playmaker. The veteran floor general has scored in double digits in three of his last seven outings off the bench. While he's not going to steal the starting role off Collin Gillespie anytime soon, Jones could be worth a look in deep category-based leagues as a streaming option.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Produces 16 points
Rotowire
Jones logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 133-123 loss to Milwaukee.
With Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (hamstring) both on the shelf, more usage could continue to trickle down to Jones. However, he's been quiet prior to Tuesday, as he's averaging 9.3 points, 3.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers over his last four outings.
Jones notched eight points (4-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over Milwaukee.
Collin Gillespie continues to start at point guard for the Suns in the absence of Bradley Beal (hamstring), but the former hasn't made a big impact on the stat sheet. Jones has remained viable off the bench, however, posting averages of 10.0 points, 2.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 23.7 minutes over his last three appearances.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Perfect from long range Friday
Rotowire
Jones chipped in 20 points (6-7 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 122-106 victory over the Kings.
The 20 points represented Jones' best output since he delivered 21 against the Grizzlies on New Year's Eve. The six made threes also tied his season high, and the 28-year-old guard has scored in double digits in three straight contests while going 13-for-17 from beyond the arc.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones is not in the Suns' starting lineup against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Jones started in Monday's loss to the Grizzlies and finished with 12 points, seven assists, three rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes. He will revert to a reserve role Wednesday due to the return of Bradley Beal (calf).

Suns' Tyus Jones: Hands out seven assists
Rotowire
Jones logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
Jones moved into a starting role Monday due to the absence of Bradley Beal (calf) and thrived as a playmaker, ending just three dimes away from recording a double-double. Jones also scored in double digits for the second time in five March appearances, but it'd be a stretch to rely on him to provide sustained scoring numbers. In fact, Jones' fantasy upside is tied to Beal's availability, as the former doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal if he comes off the bench.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Starting sans Beal
Rotowire
Jones will start in Monday's game against Memphis, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
The 28-year-old point guard will return to the starting five due to Bradley Beal (calf) being sidelined. Over 10 outings (three starts) since the All-Star break, Jones has averaged 5.6 points, 4.8 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 21.4 minutes per contest.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Back to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Jones will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Jones started the last two games, but he will retreat to a bench role Sunday due to Bradley Beal (calf) returning to the lineup. In his last three games off the bench, Jones averaged 1.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 15.7 minutes per contest.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Hands out 12 assists in start
Rotowire
Jones accumulated 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Pelicans.
Jones moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Bradley Beal (calf), and the veteran floor general made the most of the opportunity by dishing double-digit dimes for the first time since Feb. 8. Beal's status for the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Pelicans is uncertain, but if he can't go, Jones is expected to remain in the starting lineup.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Back in starting lineup
Rotowire
Jones is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
Bradley Beal is sitting out with a calf injury Thursday, creating an opportunity for Jones to re-enter Phoenix's starting lineup and get a boost in fantasy value after he was recently moved to the bench. Over his last 12 appearances with the first unit, Jones has averaged 9.8 points, 5.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes.
