Jones saw his role expand towards the end of the 2024-25 regular season. Over his last 14 games, he averaged 9.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals over 27.5 minutes per contest while shooting 46.6 percent from the field.

Wizards' Colby Jones: Strong showing vs. Brooklyn
Rotowire
Jones totaled 20 points (7-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 115-112 loss to Brooklyn.
Jones was one of the best players for the Wizards in this tight loss to the Nets, and he posted his second-best scoring output of the campaign. As if that 20-point showing wasn't enough, Jones also delivered decent numbers in other categories, particularly in the assists and steals departments. Jones has scored in double digits in just three appearances this season, however, so it's hard to rely on him for sustained scoring production.

Rotowire
Jones (recently traded) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Jones is expected to make his Wizards debut Monday after having been traded to Washington on Thursday. The 22-year-old had received little playing time for the Kings toward the end of his tenure, and he'll likely have to compete for playing time as a depth piece in the backcourt.

Rotowire
Jones (recently traded) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Kings' Colby Jones: Big defensive showing Sunday
Rotowire
Jones registered seven points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 107-77 win over Brooklyn.
The 23 minutes were a career high for the 21-year-old rookie, and Jones used the extra court time to display some impressive defensive chops. The 2023 second-round pick out of Xavier could be carving out a consistent role in the backcourt rotation, especially with Harrison Barnes' minutes shrinking and long-term injuries to Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Malik Monk (knee).
