Terrence Jones

Terrence Jones good to go for Rockets' Tuesday preseason game

Houston Rockets forward Terrence Jones (bruised ribs) is a go for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

What It Means:

Jones's injury was never believed to be serious, and his participation in a meaningless preseason game confirms that this is nothing to be concerned about.

Jones will begin the season as the unquestioned starting power forward in Houston, which loads him with upside. Coming off the pine for most of last season, Jones averaged 11.7 points and 6.7 rebounds last season in an injury-shortened year.
