FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas basketball guard Mason Jones was named the NBA G League Finals MVP after his Stockton Kings defeated the Osceola Magic 118-110 in the final game of the championship series.
Jones scored 19 points and had 13 points in the decisive game, and his 13 assists were the second most recorded in a G League Finals game.
Jones, who has a two-way contract with the Sacramento Kings, injured his ankle in the fourth quarter when the Kings trailed by 1 point.
"That's what we've been all year: We've been a team," Jones said when accepting the award.
