Kai Jones doesn’t mind Mavs playing with just eight players
INDIANAPOLIS – From Kai Jones’ vantage point, the Dallas Mavericks having to play games with just eight players is not really a bad thing. At least not for him.
“I’m not going to lie, it’s fun because you know you’re going to play a lot, so I love it,” Jones said. “It’s like a dream. It’s like, I’m not coming out (of the game) at all.”
Jones’ position obviously is a bit skewed, because he’s busy trying to get his feet planted solidly in the NBA. Jones has played for three NBA teams and four NBA G League squads since entering the NBA in 2021, so playing time for him is like winning the Olympic gold, bronze and silver medals.
