Tre Jones Still Missing Against OKC
6 months agoSan Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It'll be a second straight absence for Jones, who continues to nurse right hamstring tightness. Point forward Jeremy Sochan (adductor) grabbed hold of Jones' starting gig at the one during the preseason, leaving the 23-year-old former second-rounder with the reserves and diminished averages of 8.8 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in nine games off the bench this year. San Antonio next hosts the Sacramento Kings in the Alamo on Friday. Marksman Devonte' Graham didn't enter head coach Gregg Popovich's lineup as a result of Jones' absence in Sunday's 118-113 loss the Miami Heat, and he hasn't been seen since Nov. 6. Popovich instead shortened his rotation to nine players, so anticipate Devin Vassell and Malaki Branham regularly initiating the offense if Sochan also finds himself on the sidelines alongside Jones against OKC.
