After initially being with the team, Perry Jones is forced to return to the United States as the Boston Celtics finish off their Europe trip. A death in the family reported by Adam Himmelsbach will prevent Jones from participating in the second and final game for the Celtics in Europe.
This unfortunate situation for Jones may only get worse. Jones was just one of three players to receive under 10 minutes of playing time in the first preseason game and he may be running out of opportunities to secure a spot on the team.
