Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said prior to Wednesday's 109-90 loss to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament that Jones (foot) is no longer using a walking boot, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Donovan added that Jones was unlikely to be available for the first round of the playoffs had the Bulls advanced past the Play-In Tournament, but it became a moot point once the team was eliminated with Wednesday's loss. After being acquired from the Spurs ahead of the trade deadline in February, Jones appeared in 18 games (nine starts) and averaged 11.5 points, 4.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals in 25.2 minutes per game while shooting 57.2 percent from the field. The veteran floor general missed the final 12 games of the regular season after suffering a left midfoot sprain, but assuming he experiences no setbacks in his recovery over the summer, he should be back to full health for training camp. Jones will become an unrestricted free agent in July and will look to catch on with a team with a need for a backup point guard.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Out at least two weeks
Rotowire
The Bulls announced Saturday that Jones has been diagnosed with a left foot sprain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Jones had already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers after sustaining the injury in Thursday's win over the Kings, but follow-up tests revealed that the foot sprain is significant enough to keep the veteran point guard out for multiple weeks. Josh Giddey should slide over from the wing to replace Jones as the Bulls' starting point guard, while Jones' upcoming absence should enable Kevin Huerter to maintain a consistent 30-plus-minute role as a starter in the backcourt. Jones had averaged 14.9 points, 7.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes per game while starting in each of the last nine contests, but he'll likely be in line for a bench role if he returns for the final week of the regular season. Lonzo Ball (wrist) looks to be tracking toward a return before Jones, who had been coming off the bench when Ball was available.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Iffy to play Saturday
Rotowire
Jones (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Jones sustained the left midfoot sprain during Thursday's win over the Kings, and he could miss his first game since Feb. 8. The 25-year-old point guard has made nine consecutive starts, averaging 14.9 points, 7.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 33.2 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Suffers foot injury Thursday
Rotowire
Jones exited Thursday's 128-116 win over the Kings with 1:59 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a left midfoot sprain, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Jones posted 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes before checking out of the contest while the Bulls held a 12-point lead in the final two minutes, but his early exit didn't seem like it was merely out of precaution. He hobbled to the bench and was sent in for X-rays in the locker room, which came back negative. Though Jones isn't dealing with any structural damage to his foot, the sprain could end up costing him some game action. Josh Giddey (ankle) should be back in action for Saturday's game against the Lakers and will likely start at point guard if Jones is ruled out, while Kevin Huerter would presumably continue to handle a 30-plus-minute role on the wing.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Stuffs stat sheet in victory
Rotowire
Jones posted 18 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 win over the Nets.
The 25-year-old has started in five consecutive contests due to Lonzo Ball (wrist) being sidelined, and he tied Kevin Huerter for the team's second-highest mark in scoring behind Coby White (31 points). Additionally, Jones finished with a team high in steals, marking his ninth outing with multiple swipes on the season. The fifth-year point guard has averaged 14.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 33.4 minutes per contest in that five-game span. He has been efficient during his stint in the starting lineup, shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from three-point range.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Plays well against Indiana
Rotowire
Jones registered 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT) and six assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 127-112 loss to the Pacers.
Ayo Dosunmu will undergo season-ending surgery to address left shoulder instability, opening the door for Jones to play a larger role going forward. He made the most of his minutes Sunday and is picking up steam as a potential pickup in standard formats if he can keep up the momentum. Especially for fantasy managers in need of assists and steals.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Supplies season-high 16 points
Rotowire
Jones finished Wednesday's 122-117 loss to the Clippers with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 18 minutes off the bench.
The 16 points were a season high for Jones, topping the 15 he delivered in the final game before the All-Star break. Those are the only two times he's scored in double digits since joining the Bulls, however, and the 25-year-old point guard is struggling to find his footing with his new club. Over seven contests since being traded from San Antonio, Jones has yet to play more than 19 minutes off the second unit, averaging 7.4 points, 2.3 assists, 2.0 boards and 1.0 steals in 16.6 minutes a game.

Since being traded from the Spurs to the Bulls, Jones has operated as the team's backup point guard to Josh Giddey. In his first four appearances with Chicago, Jones averaged 7.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.3 steals in 16.5 minutes.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Not on injury report for Tuesday
Rotowire
Jones (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
The point guard is expected to make his Bulls debut after having been included in Sunday's deal that sent Kevin Huerter, Zach Collins and Jones to Chicago. The 25-year-old will likely have to compete for playing time off the bench in a fairly crowded backcourt. Jones started the 2024-25 campaign with the Spurs, averaging 4.4 points, 3.8 assists and 2.1 rebounds across 16.1 minutes per contest in 28 regular-season outings off the bench.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Quiet again Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones closed with six points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 loss to the Grizzlies.
Despite carving out a consistent role in the rotation, Jones' playing time has been largely underwhelming thus far this season. He has logged more than 20 minutes only once, typically playing as a backup guard behind the likes of Chris Paul and Devin Vassell. Should Paul suffer an injury at any point, Jones could find himself slated with a sizeable role, providing the team with above-average passing skills from the point guard position.
