Tyus Jones Expected To Be Starting Point Guard For Phoenix Suns

According to multiple reports, in a bombshell Saturday afternoon signing, the Phoenix Suns have signed Tyus Jones to a one-year deal worth $3.3 million. This has solidified who their starting point guard will be.

Many speculated on if Monte Morris would be leading the group or running it back with either Bradley Beal or Devin Booker. However, general manager James Jones and owner Mat Ishbia has landed a solid piece to run the floor.

Per Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro, Jones chose Phoenix over the Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks. Two teams where he could have gotten more money from. It should be noted that with Jones signing, Grayson Allen will be moved to the bench and Booker most likely playing small forward.

Unofficial starting lineups have come out featuring Jones (PG), Beal (SG), Booker (SF), Kevin Durant (PF), and Jusuf Nukic (C). It is unknown if head coach Mike Budenholzer will have it this way, but, for the time being, this is what fans can picture in their brains until official word comes out.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
