Tyus Jones

Even without your best player, the show must go on. Tyus Jones made sure it would go on with a win. The Memphis Grizzlies guard stepped into the starting lineup for an injured Ja Morant and the team did not miss a beat. Jones got right into Kelly Olynyk’s face following a Utah Jazz defensive rebound, immediately stole the ball and drifted to the corner to knock down a 3-pointer. The eighth-year guard was a spark plug for the Grizzlies as he tallied 21 points, six assists and four steals in his squad’s sixth consecutive victory, a 123-118 decision on January 8, 2023.
