According to KATU, a police sergeant observed a man later identified as Jones exiting a bar and walking by a doorway where two homeless men were sleeping. Jones then reportedly yelled at the two men and proceeded to stomp on one of the man's legs. The victim, John Kellerher, received a minor leg injury but did not require immediate medical attention.

Jones, who was drafted 18th overall by Houston in the 2012 NBA Draft, appeared in only 19 games for the Rockets, spending most of his rookie year in the NBDL.

The Rockets have not issued a statement on the incident yet.
