Jones (ribs) will miss at least the next three games due to a collapsed lung, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jones was thought to have a rib injury, but it turns out his breathing issues stemmed from a collapsed lung. As a result, he'll miss the next three games versus Phoenix (Saturday), Indiana (Monday) and New Orleans (Wednesday). Keep in mind that may be a conservative estimate, and it would not be a surprise if Jones misses additional time.

Jones (ribs) will remain in the hospital overnight, and is expected to be out for "a little bit" due to soreness, according to coach Kevin McHale.

Coach McHale didn't provide an exact timetable for Jones, but it sounds as though Saturday's contest is likely questionable at best for him. He finished the contest with 10 points and two boards despite leaving in the first quarter.

Jones (ribs) was transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure after leaving Thursday's game against the Nuggets, ESPN Dallas reports.

After he was hit in the ribs late in the first quarter, Jones committed a foul in order to leave the floor as soon as possible, but not before scoring 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT) to go with two rebounds. His visit to the hospital could clear up the severity of the injury. In any case, consider him questionable for Saturday's tilt versus the Suns.

Jones won't return to Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a rib injury, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jones was hit in the ribs late in the in the first quarter, immediately committed a foul, and left the court for good. Before his departure, he recorded 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in nine minutes. Until the extent of the ailment is clear, consider him questionable to take the floor Saturday against the Suns.

Jones is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Mark Berman of Fox 26 KRIV reports.

Jones was benched for Tuesday's game against the Magic since he was late for a team function. That seems to be a one-game punishment so he's expected to assume his normal role as a starter moving forward.

Jones was late for a team function which is likely why he was benched in Tuesday's game against the Magic, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jones should be the expected starter against the Nuggets on Thursday as it seems that Tuesday's move to the bench won't be permanent, especially since he still played 30 minutes. Although, the Rockets will have to make it official before Jones regains his usual spot at starting power forward over Joey Dorsey.

Jones came off the bench to play 30 minutes in the win over Orlando on Tuesday. He had six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds.

Jones came into Tuesday on a streak of three straight double-doubles. He played his usual complement of minutes, but took his fewest shots since early February. The former Kentucky start should be back in the starting lineup Thursday against Denver.

Jones will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Magic, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jones seems to be in full health so this move may ultimately be unfortunate for his value moving forward if Joey Dorsey ultimately takes over at power forward. Tuesday's game should be telling for for what type of role Jones will play under coach Kevin McHale as the season winds down.

Jones recorded a double-double during Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers, finishing with 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot in 36 minutes.

Jones returned to form Wednesday, after struggling to just seven points on 3-of-12 shooting from the field in Saturday's game against the Nuggets. Including Wednesday's 17-point showing, he's averaging 17.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over his last seven games. As long as Dwight Howard remains sidelined, Jones could continue with his recent production. There were talks of Jones having discomfort in his back, but it didn't seem to bother him in a full games worth of minutes.

Jones (back) scored seven points (3-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with 11 rebounds, one steal and one block in 27 minutes Saturday.

With Jones dealing with a back issue and the Rockets comfortably winning the game, Jones was limited to just 27 minutes, but that appears unlikely to be a trend moving forward. In his last eight, Jones has averaged 17.1 points and 9.8 rebounds, with 2.1 blocks, so this performance was hopefully a temporary blip.

Jones (back) is starting Saturday's game at Denver.

Jones continues to deal with discomfort in his lower back but will nonetheless start his second consecutive outing. On Friday, he put up 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, and two steals in 32 minutes.

Jones (back) will play Saturday in Denver, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jones entered Friday's game with similar availability due to a back issue, but upon taking the court, he set aside the discomfort, recording 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, and two steals in 32 minutes. Expect him to start at power forward yet again.

Jones is suffering from lower-back pain and is questionable for Saturday's game in Denver, Fox 26's Mark Berman reports.

He was questionable for Friday's game as well, but ended up playing and scored 17 points with eight boards, two steals and three blocks, so owners have to be hopeful he takes the court once again. Of course, the fact that it is the second game of a back-to-back might work against him, but it's something to monitor as tip-off approaches. Josh Smith would see extended run Saturday if Jones cannot play.

Jones (back) scored 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and added eight rebounds, two steals, and three blocks in 32 minutes against the Pistons Friday.

Jones has been on a roll since the All-Star break, averaging 2.6 blocks per game and scoring double digits in eight straight. Jones should probably be owned in all formats, at least until Dwight Howard (knee) returns.

Jones (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Pistons, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.

Jones scored 21 points and had nine rebounds in 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, but he emerged from the game with soreness in his lower-back. He'll be re-evaluated Friday morning, at which point the team should provide further information with regard to his status. Since the All-Star break, Jones has seen his minutes increase fairly drastically, and he's played at least 32 minutes in each of his last six contests.

Jones had 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes.

He's been a beast over his past five averaging 19.6 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 37 minutes a game. His blocks have been a nice surprise for owners, and his all-around play has been sensational as of late. Until he slows down, keep rolling him into your lineup.

Jones scored 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT) with eight rebounds and five blocks in 32 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Clippers.

In four games since regaining a major role in the Rockets' frontcourt rotation, Jones is averaging 12.3 points, 10.3 boards and an eye-popping 3.5 blocks. He won't be able to maintain that pace with his blocks, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his scoring average creep up, and he looks like a must-own player for the stretch run.

Jones recorded a double-double in 32 minutes Monday against the Timberwolves as he scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 FT) to go along with 15 rebounds, one steal an two blocks.

Jones moved into the starting lineup Monday and put up an excellent performance. He has played at least 24 minutes on each of his last three games and has averaged 11.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks a game over that stretch. Continue to expect him to see increased fantasy value as long as the Rockets continue to play him more.

Jones will get the start Monday against Minnesota, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

After back-to-back strong performances, Jones will supplant Donatas Motiejunas in the starting five. Jones put up 11 points and nine rebounds in Saturday's win over Toronto, and he had nine points and nine boards Friday in Dallas. He's also accumulated seven blocks over the last two games.
