McKinney Jones

Hell be the 19th player on the roster and isn’t expected to make the final cut. Jones has spent most of his career with Indiana’s G-League affiliate, so expect him to continue playing for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants at the conclusion of camp.

McKinney Jones’ shoulder issue doesn’t sound serious at all, but he’s irrelevant anyway, as it’s extremely unlikely he’ll land a spot on the regular season roster.

McKinney-Jones signed a training camp deal with the Pacers back in September. However, he was waived in October. He sustained a left shoulder injury during preseason action, which hurt his chances of making the squad. Yet, he played well for Indiana’s G-League affiliate this season and has earned a shot with the big club. Like the vast majority of players signed to 10-day deals, McKinney-Jones can be left on waivers in all fantasy formats, as it is unlikely he’ll see consistent minutes.

This was the expected move with the Pacers adding Trevor Booker. Maybe McKinney-Jones latches on with another team, but leave him on the wire for now.
