After beginning in 65 out of 68 video games final season, Spurs guard Tre Jones has taken on a unique position by coming off the bench within the first two contests of the 2023/24 season.
Regardless of being one of many crew’s best gamers on Wednesday in opposition to Dallas, the place he amassed 16 factors, six assists, and 5 rebounds in simply 25 minutes, Jones discovered himself on the sidelines throughout crunch time.
In a pivotal second with the rating tied at 118 and simply over two minutes remaining, Gregg Popovich opted for Jeremy Sochan, and the Spurs, sadly, ended up shedding the sport.
“I simply need to do the whole lot I can to assist my crew win,” Jones mentioned, per Tom Orsborn of The San Antonio Categorical-Information (subscription required). “Clearly, being on the ground I really feel like I may help my crew win, however we needed to do completely different lineups and whatnot to match up with them on the defensive finish.
“They simply hit some robust photographs on the finish, very robust photographs. That’s simply the way it goes generally. Received to remain prepared. There’ll at all times be completely different lineups down the stretch. We don’t know who’s going to be in there. We’re all prepared and all of us imagine in each other.”
