Tyus Jones to Sign With Nuggets on Prorated Veteran Minimum

Set to join on a prorated minimum to fill Denver's lone open roster slot, preserving playoff eligibility.

Overview

  • Jones, 29, has agreed to sign for the rest of the season, his agent told ESPN, with routine finalization expected.
  • Denver will add him to its only open standard roster spot on a prorated veteran’s minimum worth about $877,209, with an estimated $554,273 cap hit if completed Monday.
  • Waived by Dallas on Saturday before the league’s deadline, Jones remains eligible for the postseason.
  • The 11th‑year point guard brings low‑turnover playmaking and recently posted a 6.0 assist‑to‑turnover ratio with the Mavericks, which ranked third in the NBA over that span, per ESPN.
  • He began the season with Orlando before trades to Charlotte and Dallas, and he is expected to provide reserve ball‑handling behind Jamal Murray for Denver’s playoff push.
