NEW ORLEANS — After suffering a hand injury against Coastal Carolina Friday, senior guard Jalen Jones will miss Saturday’s Sun Belt Championship semifinal against Texas State, said Richard Kilwien, associate athletic director for communications.

The injury occurred after Jones converted a layup in the second half and fell on his hand.

If the Mavericks advance past Texas State, Jones’ playing status is uncertain for Sunday’s conference final. Kilwien said the team should have a more definitive answer Saturday.
