Tyus Jones: “The plan is to be a starter”

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones will enter unrestricted free agency this summer. While he expresses a desire to remain with the Wizards, he’s adamant about securing a starting role for the upcoming season.

“Anything can happen,” Jones said, “but [my family and I] love D.C., we want to be here, and I want to help this team continue to build and move in the right direction.”

Having started in all 66 games he played this season, Jones relishes the significance of being a full-time starter, a role he aims to maintain in the future.

“The plan is to be a starter,” Jones said when asked about his preferred role next season.
