The Heat and Pacers will play each other in the first round of the 2020 playoffs.
Jones Jr. entered Friday averaging 8.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists for the Heat in 58 appearances. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Hopefully, the high-flyer's injury isn't serious and he's able to play for the Heat in the playoffs.
Jones Jr. began his career with the Phoenix Suns. He has NBA averages of 6.8 points and 3.5 rebounds with the Suns and Heat.
