Fantasy Impact:
Jones injured his knee when he planted his right leg to go up for a fast-break dunk, a play in which he was fouled. The 21-year-old UNLV product could not put any weight on the knee and had to be assisted off the court. In addition, he was unable to shoot free throws which were attempted instead by Hassan Whiteside. Preliminary radiographs came back negative, but an MRI is scheduled on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
