Free agent guard Tyus Jones has agreed to sign with the Denver Nuggets, his agent Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management tells ESPN. A veteran point guard and ball handler to fill a need for the Nuggets' backcourt.

They are 37-24 right now. I can't see him helping them as they're a team whose success is dependent on the ball being in Jokic's hands and to a lesser extent Murray. Tyus is a good shooter but way too ball dominant and slow offensively so I don't see him settling into a shooter role.

Tyus failed here and in Orlando so it'll be interesting if he tanks Denver as well.

No, there of something weird going on with Portzingis’ health. He’s missed 2/3rds of the season due to bouts with a vague illness.

It's weird. I'm surprised that he passed a physical... or maybe Golden State was so hard pressed to get something for Kuminga that they didn't care.

Lots of speculation that he has a chronic auto-immune disorder.

I'd be bummed if he's on his way out of the league. I saw him when he was in his first few years on the Knicks, and he was a player that stood out in a huge way. Health aside, I thought he had the offensive potential of Dirk, while also being a damn good defender. But he got hurt, over and over and now he's got... what ever this is.

One of the first guys with the "unicorn" tag that become such a trend.

Kind of crazy Tatum is able to return so quick. Hope he isn't rushing things.

Kristaps Porzingis is cleared for his third game with the Warriors tonight against the Bulls. Draymond Green and De’Anthony Melton are questionable. Steph Curry will miss a 15th straight game. Team update tomorrow on Curry.

Bam has what?!

 

[AzStevenCal]

Bam has what?!

And I once argued Ayton was the better player.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Bam has what?!

Yeah insane. Shot 43 free throws. One guy. 43 free throws. That would take Ayton 39 games.

The Pacers now own the NBA’s worst record after losing to the Kings, which means they have a 52.1% chance of keeping their top-4 protected pick.

Rival executives are worried about Indiana pulling off Ivica Zubac plus an elite prospect upon Tyrese Haliburton’s return in 2026-27.
