While Orlando received major scoring contributions from Franz Wagner and Tristan da Silva, head coach Jamahl Mosley pointed to the impact of veteran guard Tyus Jones — despite Jones finishing scoreless in the win.</p><p>Mosley emphasized that Jones’ value <a href="https://www.nba.com/magic/video" rel="noopener">goes well beyond his point total</a>, noting the importance of the guard’s decision-making and steadiness in orchestrating the second unit.</p><p>“What I liked from Tyus tonight was that he was able to run that second unit in a good portion of it,” Mosley said. “It doesn’t have to be about scoring every time. It has to be about making the right play… that’s a winning play. Whether he scores 2, 10, 0, he’s trying to find ways to help this team win, and that experience and that leadership for our team is gonna be very important as we go down the stretch.”</p><p>Jones logged 13 minutes, attempted two shots, and finished with three steals, two assists, and one rebound. Though his offensive numbers remain well below his career averages, Mosley reiterated the guard’s reliability and understanding of game flow as critical components to Orlando’s bench structure.</p><h2><b>Jamahl Mosley points to Tyus Jones’ leadership as key in Magic’s NBA Cup win over the Nets</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Tyus-Jones-brings-the-ball-up-court-during-the-second-half-against-the-Atlanta-Hawks.jpg"><figcaption>Mike Watters-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 29-year-old signed with the Magic on a one-year minimum deal during the offseason. Through 13 games, he is averaging 1.5 points and 1.4 assists while shooting 29% from the field and 11.8% from three — all career lows. Last season with the Phoenix Suns, Jones played a significantly larger role, averaging 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.4 rebounds across 81 games, including 58 starts.</p><p>Offensively, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-franz-wagner-jamahl-mosley-laud-tristan-da-silva-in-win-over-nets">Magic were carried by Wagner, who posted 25 points</a>, six rebounds, and five assists on 7-for-17 shooting in 37 minutes. Da Silva added 22 points and nine rebounds while hitting five of his nine three-point attempts, continuing his recent stretch of efficient play.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-franz-wagner-says-turnovers-stalled-us-out-nba-cup-win-over-nets">Magic overcame 19 turnovers by holding Brooklyn to 16 points</a> in the fourth quarter, leaning on defensive execution to compensate for their uneven offensive performance.</p><p>With the win, Orlando improved to 7–6, climbing above .500 for the first time since opening night against the Miami Heat. The team now travels for a brief road matchup against the Houston Rockets (8–3) on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET before returning home Tuesday to begin a three-game homestand against the Golden State Warriors (8–6).</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The former Memphis Grizzlies teammates are reuniting in Orlando, and Bane recently described Jones as a “steady rock” both on and off the court.</p><p>Speaking on The Sixth Man Show – Orlando Magic Podcast, Bane reflected on their time together in Memphis and praised Jones’ consistency.</p><p>“Tyus is one of my favorite teammates I’ve ever played with. Locker room presence, great family man, and I mean on the court he’s steady. We call him ‘stones,’ like he is that, he is a rock, whether it’s making a big pass, knocking down a shot, getting the team organized, he is the centerpiece. Whether he’s coming off the bench, whether he’s starting, somebody that you can always turn to, he’ll be there, he’ll be steady.”</p><p>Bane and Jones played three seasons together with the Grizzlies from 2020-21 through 2022-23, forming part of a backcourt that emphasized efficiency and decision-making. After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-desmond-bane-reveals-wild-timing-of-when-orlando-trade-went-down">Bane was traded to the Magic on Father’s Day</a>, he now rejoins <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/orlando-magic-2025-nba-free-agency-grades-for-every-signing">Jones, who signed with Orlando this summer</a> after spending the past two seasons with the Washington Wizards and Phoenix Suns.</p><h2><b>Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones reunite with Magic aiming for title contention</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Desmond-Bane-and-Tyus-Jones.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Jones, 29, is expected to bring veteran leadership and stability to the Magic’s young core. Last season with Phoenix, he averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 44.8% from the field and 41.4% from three across 81 games. His ability to organize the offense and provide reliable minutes has been a trademark of his NBA career since being drafted in 2015.</p><p>For Bane, the reunion with Jones comes as Orlando builds momentum from consecutive postseason appearances and a 47-win campaign in 2023-24, the franchise’s best record since 2010-11. Alongside Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the Magic added Bane and Jones this offseason in moves designed to push the team further into contention in the Eastern Conference.</p><p>The reunion also adds intrigue ahead of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-what-desmond-bane-regrets-about-orlando-europe-trip">Orlando’s January Europe trip, where the Magic will face Bane’s former team</a>, the Memphis Grizzlies, in Berlin on Jan. 15 and in London on Jan. 18. The matchup marks the beginning of the NBA’s three-year Europe Games slate and provides both Bane and Jones a chance to face familiar teammates on an international stage.</p><p>With Bane’s shooting and Jones’ steady hand at point guard, the Magic aim to strengthen their backcourt depth and surround Banchero with more experience as he continues to establish himself among the league’s top young stars. Bane’s endorsement of Jones underscores the trust the Magic hope to lean on as they enter the season with elevated expectations.</p><p>Orlando will open its 2025-26 campaign at home against the Miami Heat on Oct. 22 at the KIA Center.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The trade was a move towards becoming a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference. And with the NBA free agency negotiation period beginning on Monday, the Magic made another big move with veteran point guard Tyus Jones.</p><p>The Magic and Tyus Jones <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1939841570427076949" rel="noopener">agreed to a contract</a> in free agency for one year and worth $7 million, as per ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel. Jones spent last season with the Phoenix Suns after signing as a free agent in the offseason. The No. 24 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Jones has long been considered one of the best backup point guards in the NBA.</p><p>Last season, Jones’ role with the Suns was split between starting and coming off the bench. He appeared in 81 games, including 58 starts, at a little over 26 minutes per game. He averaged 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists with splits of 44.8 percent shooting from the field, 41.4 percent shooting from the three-point line and 89.5 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Now entering his 11th season in the NBA, Jones began his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves after they acquired his rights via a draft day trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jones played the first four seasons of his career with the Wolves before signing as a free agent with the Memphis Grizzlies. His Grizzlies stint spanned four seasons as well. Jones also played one season for the Washington Wizards after being traded by the Grizzlies ahead of the 2023-24 season.</p><p>He will now help a Magic team looking to move into the upper-echelon in the Eastern Conference. His role will likely be the primary backup point guard to Jalen Suggs. This past season, the Magic finished with the seventh seed in the East after defeating the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in.

After trading for Desmond Bane, it was obvious that they were looking to take that next step, and now they will have to fill in some holes on their roster.</p><p>With the recent moves that the Magic have made, it is setting up for a potential backup guard to <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/the-latest-freshest-and-hottest-nba?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=167147450&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=39f60&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">sign with them</a>, which also has something to do with Chris Paul, according to the Stein Line.</p><p>“It is believed Orlando’s Sunday business — declining the $11 million team option for Moe Wagner along with the $2.1 million team option for Caleb Houstan — represents two steps toward creating the financial wiggle room needed to finally land Tyus Jones in the Magic Kingdom after the veteran point guard has been linked to them for years,” the Stein Line wrote.</p><p>“If Jones indeed exits Phoenix, that would open the door for Paul’s potential reunion with the Suns,” they continued.</p><p>There were many questions on where <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-chris-paul-reunion-suns-clippers-possibility">Paul might land this offseason</a>, and teams such as the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers have come up. The Suns is where Paul made it to the NBA Finals in 2021, and he was a good fit for what they were trying to do, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he returned there.</p><h2><b>Magic looking to make a move for Tyus Jones</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/nba-rumors-magic-interested-signing-desmond-banes-ex-grizzlies-teammate">Jones has been connected to the Magic</a> for about a week now, and it makes sense with their need for a solid backup guard.</p><p>“Sources say that the Orlando Magic are among the teams to express interest in Jones, who played alongside new Magic marquee acquisition Desmond Bane for three seasons in Memphis. Bane posted on Twitter in April 2024 that ‘doors [are] always open’ for a reunification with Jones,” Jake Fischer wrote.</p><p>Jones has been a solid backup guard for most of his career, and last season he was put in a starting role with the Suns. That experience was probably up and down for him, especially with the Suns not having a great season. If Jones decides to sign with the Magic, hopefully, he’s put in a role that works best for him, and he can help the second unit. It’ll be interesting to see what Jones decides to do when free agency opens.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Something has got to change.</p><p>“We’ve got to play better ball on both ends of the floor. The level we’re playing at right now just isn’t cutting it.”</p><p>Meanwhile, when Budenholzer got wind of that word, he <a href="https://x.com/DuaneRankin/status/1909003014062453032" rel="noopener">didn’t see eye to eye</a> with his point guard.</p><p>“Don’t know if I agree with him,” Budenholzer said before Sunday’s game via Rankin. “I think we just got to play with each other.

There hasn’t been much consistency on the court. However, the answers by Budenholzer have been.</p><p>He’s talked about playing better, but his players might’ve had enough of that talk. After all, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/phoenix-suns/suns-news-devin-booker-somber-admission-1st-losing-season-5-years">Devin Booker was somber about the Suns losing record</a> for the first time since the 2019-20 season.</p><p>The losing ways, with as talented of a team as they have, don’t make too much sense.</p><h2><b>Suns’ Tyus Jones and Mike Budenholzer don’t see eye to eye</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Tyus-Jones-dribbling.jpg"><figcaption>© Jeremy Reper-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It’s often for a player and a head coach to disagree on a point.
