The Mavericks old player will switch to the Italian league? This news may be fake news?

Recently, Ary, an extremely high presence, updated his social media account and refuted the news that Kai Jones will leave the NBA and go to play in the European arena. Ary said the report that Kay Jones will join Italian league team Bologna Vertus is completely inaccurate. Jones's agent team reiterated to me that Kay Jones is still focused on staying in the NBA and is seeking a formal contract or training camp contract to secure a position on a team roster.

Jones was born in January 2001 and is 24 years old, 211cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is an inside player from the University of Texas in the 2021 NBA Draft. Jones' draft pick is not low, but he didn't get much chance when he played for the Hornets, and his performance on the court was a bit disappointing. In addition, he caused huge trouble off the court, Jones was cut by the Hornets before the start of the regular season of the 2023-24 season. Jones did not get a chance to play in the NBA throughout the 2023-24 season. By last summer, he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, but in March this year he was cut by the team again. Then at the end of the season, the Dallas Mavericks chose to sign him, and his performance after joining the Mavericks also improved significantly.

In the NBA regular season last season, Jones played 28 times for the Clippers, averaging 7.4 minutes per game, averaging 2.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks. He also had 0.4 turnovers and 0.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 72.2%, 0% from three-point shooting percentage and 75% from free throws. After joining the Mavericks, Jones made a total of 12 appearances, averaging 21.7 minutes per game, with 11.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 83.6%, his three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 70%.

According to European journalist Alessandro Luigi Maggi, Serie A powerhouse Bologna Vertus is about to sign Kai Jones. However, the situation also seems a bit unclear. Jones should be communicating with Bologna Vitus, but the problem is that Jones is currently at her age and has shown certain competitiveness in the second half of last season, and should be a little unwilling to switch to the European arena. Jones will definitely choose to fight in the NBA to see if he can continue to stay in the NBA arena, and his former club Mavericks should also consider the possibility of signing back to Jones. Jones may not necessarily not move to the European arena, but all this should not be settled until after training camp.
