Rotowire
Jones was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Thunder's Dillon Jones: Grabs 10 rebounds in win
Rotowire
Jones produced six points (2-9 FG, 2-5 3PT), 10 rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's preseason win over Atlanta.
Jones continues to flash some intriguing upside, delivering another strong two-way performance. With Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) and possibly Jalen Williams (ankle) set to miss the beginning of the season, Jones could force his way into the rotation. While it is unlikely he sniffs standard league value, he is a name to watch in deeper formats, at least as a short-term consideration.
Jones logged 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Monday's 112-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
Jones recorded the third-highest scoring mark on the Thunder behind Ajay Mitchell (19) and Jalen Williams (18). In his final collegiate season, the No. 26 pick of the 2024 Draft out of Weber State averaged 20.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.0 steals across 37.0 minutes per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the floor. While the Thunder's roster is stacked, Jones could carve out a role in the rotation if Kenrich Williams (knee) misses time.
