Jones (ankle) is expected to miss at least two weeks, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Head coach Gregg Popovich announced that the floor general will be sidelined for a couple of weeks in a best-case scenario. This means Stephon Castle, Blake Wesley and Malaki Branham should see an uptick in minutes going forward while Jones is out.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Ruled out for Saturday
Rotowire
Jones won't play against the Rockets on Saturday due to a right ankle sprain, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
It's unclear when Jones suffered the sprain, but it's bad enough to keep him sidelined for the team's upcoming contest. Jones logged three points, a rebound, three assists and a steal across 16 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to the Mavericks, and his absence will open up more minutes for Stephon Castle and, potentially, Malaki Branham. Jones will aim to recover in time to be available for the Monday rematch against Houston.

Rotowire
Jones registered 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 loss to Denver.
Jones recorded his first career triple-double, adding a pair of defensive stats for good measure. The Spurs are going to be without both Devin Vassell (foot) and Jeremy Sochan (foot) for the remainder of the season, meaning Jones should be in line for heavy minutes, assuming he can stay healthy. Ensure he is plugged into all lineups for the time being.

The fourth-year point guard led the Spurs in scoring on the night as he scored 20 or more for only the third time in 21 games since the beginning of February.
