Tyus Jones said he loves Memphis. He loves the Grizzlies and loves being part of the franchise. On his future w/ the team, he has to balanace out what’s best for himself and his family. He said it’s bot going to be an easy decision by any means and doesn’t have his mind made up. – 2:49 PM

Andrew Wiggins deserves a lot of credit tonight. Took Tyus Jones out of the game. Cut off the head of the snake – 12:55 AM

Don’t think Jenkins will do it, but with Tyus Jones struggling wonder if the bigger, no-point guard look is the way to lean. Better defensively. Feels like it’ll be Brooks/Bane on O. – 12:10 AM

Just not enough offense. Grizzlies desperately need someone like Melton to hit some big shots. Not getting it from Tyus Jones tonight. – 12:04 AM

Awesome small thing by Tyus Jones there: loose ball and he waited to approach it until Klay committed, got it and blew by for an easy transition bucket – 11:08 PM

Warriors are doing everything they were predicted to do. They have their size on the court, putting Adams in the pick-and-roll and using their best defenders (Wiggins, Green) on Tyus Jones and JJJ. – 10:31 PM

Memphis starting PG Tyus Jones & Grizzlies back at it tonight vs. Warriors in G6. In Memphis’ 134-95 wipeout of GS, Jones, starting for Ja Morant, scored 21 points, 8 of 12 from the field, 4 of 7 from 3 with 9 assists and 0 turnovers. Knicks would be lucky to add him as FA. – 10:57 AM

Memphis backup point guard Tyus Jones, who played three seasons for Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota, is weaving a career year and is on the Knicks’ radar, according to an NBA source. -via New York Post / May 8, 2022
The Cavs could pivot, taking Rubio out of their hypothetical plans. There are some quality options in free agency. Cleveland would have interest in Memphis’ Tyus Jones, Atlanta’s Delon Wright, Washington’s Raul Neto (has close ties to assistant coach Antonio Lang) and Goran Dragic, who may leave Brooklyn after one drama-filled season. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / April 28, 2022
