Jones (coach's decision) will be inactive for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
The second-year forward had started each of Denver's last five games, but he'll cede his spot in the lineup to Christian Braun (ankle), who will be making his return from a 12-game absence. Jones won't be available off the bench, either; he's been active for 49 regular-season games on the campaign and can suit up just once more until the Nuggets convert him from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract.
