Jones signed with the Sixers on an Exhibit 10 contract on Sept. 8, a camp-level deal built for a roster battle, not a guaranteed spot. He got into four preseason games in October. His high point came Oct. 5 against the Knicks, his former team, with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 18.1 minutes in a win. He struggled after that, managing just 2 and 4 points in two losses to Boston, including a minus-26 outing on Oct. 10. Philadelphia cut him Oct. 17 along with three other players.
