Isaac Jones News: Promoted to starting role

Jones is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Lakers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

The Kings are thin in the frontcourt since Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) and Keegan Murray (thumb) are out, thrusting Jones into an elevated role. The second-year big will try to show what he can do in an extended role while operating next to Drew Eubanks in the frontcourt.
