OFFICIAL: Spurs Re-Sign PG Tre Jones
The San Antonio Spurs are officially bringing back their point guard.
The Spurs announced in a press release that the team has re-signed Tre Jones.
Jones was a restricted free agent, meaning the team would have been able to match any contract offer he received outside of the organization, but the Spurs prevented that from happening by giving him a deal that will net him an average of $10 million over the next two years.
Jones, 23, averaged 12.9 points and 6.6 assists in his third professional season this past year. But now, he'll conquer a bigger responsibility for the upcoming campaign as he becomes Victor Wembanyama's pick-and-roll partner.
Jones has solidified himself as a solid point guard with the ability to run an offense, and if he's already doing that in year three, his ceiling is even higher, which he knows.
"I feel like I'm in a good position right now," Jones said following the Spurs' regular-season finale. "I made a lot of strides this year. I've gotten a lot better in the areas that I wanted to. I was given [an] opportunity this year that you're not always given, so I'm very blessed to be [where I am]."
And now, Jones is set to be in San Antonio until the 2024-25.
