Jones (knee) will not play Friday against the Grizzlies, the Oklahoman reports. |

Jones (knee) was able to walk out of the arena under his own power following Tuesday's game, according to Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman. |
Jones was spotted walking with a pronounced limp, but it's a good sign that he did not need any postgame assistance after being helped off the court immediately after suffering the injury. It's unclear if he will miss any further action, but he will have a couple days to rest and recover before Oklahoma City's next game Friday. |

Jones suffered a right knee contusion during Tuesday's game against the Raptors and will not return, The Oklahoman reports. |

Sun Nov 2 2014 | 01:15 | Jones backed up 32 point performance from Friday with 23 points ... |
Jones backed up his 32 point performance from Friday with 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT) four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 41 minutes Saturday. |
That makes two out of three games without Durant where Jones has exploded. While Durant (foot) and Westbrook (hand) sit, Jones seems like he will be a solid play in all fantasy leagues, but be aware that we could see the occasional dud thrown in, much like his opening night performance. For now though, he's one of the hottest waiver wire additions. |
Fri Oct 31 2014 | 01:33 | Jones scored career-high 32 points (10-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT) ... |
Jones scored a career-high 32 points (10-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT) for the Thunder versus the Clippers. |
With Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant out, Jones was the only real scoring option besides Serge Ibaka. Jones also had seven rebounds, three assists and a steal. If Westbrook's injury keeps him out for an extended period, Jones is worth a flier in most leagues. Someone is going to have to score for this team. |
Thu Oct 30 2014 | 01:06 | Jones started Wednesday night's opener against Trail Blazers in ... |
Jones started Wednesday night's opener against the Trail Blazers in place of Kevin Durant, scoring just three points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in 31 minutes. |
This was the Thunder's first game without Durant, and Jones started in his place. Jones was coming off of a knee injury, but couldn't get anything going, failing to record a single assist, steal or block in addition to his poor shooting night. However, without Anthony Morrow and Jeremy Lamb for the time being, Jones is the Thunder's best option at small forward. Once those guys return, Jones will likely see his role shrink. |

Jones is still dealing with some discomfort in his knee after having it scoped this summer, so the Thunder decided they'll have him sit out the opener. Jones will offer the Thunder depth this season, and there's no reason to push him into action if he's not feeling 100 percent. |

Mon Jul 14 2014 | 12:45 | Perry Jones undergoes arthroscopic surgery |
Perry Jones III has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. His recovery time is expected to be 4-6 weeks. |
Jones hasn't done anything in his two season with OKC, averaging 3.0 points, and 1.8 rebounds on 43.6 percent shooting from the field during his time there. Jones will have plenty of time to recover for training camp, but he's not a fantasy option in any format. |

Mon Jun 2 2014 | 13:03 | Perry Jones III will play in summer league |
Perry Jones III will play in summer league during July. |
"Do the best I can to work on using my athleticism offensively and defensively," Jones said about his plans this summer. " Just want to be able to guard anybody." His offensive game needs some major work and he'll have to get better to take over as the team's starting shooting guard. Thabo Sefolosha is as good as gone, so Jones does at least have a shot. |
