With the 2025-26 season approaching, Orlando Magic signee Tyus Jones is seeing his reputation restored as the best backup point guard in the NBA. It's a distinction he's carried through multiple stops, with his responsible playmaking and efficient shooting earning critical acclaim.
It's a thrilling development that should have Magic fans eager to see how their new-look second unit will take shape around one of the best reserves in the Association.
Orlando signed Jones to a one-year, $7 million contract in one of the most quietly brilliant moves of the summer. It was a clear effort to alleviate the playmaking burden from primary scoring options Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, as well as improve the team's three-point shooting.
