James Jones (personal) will not play on Monday.

This is Jones' first blurb since September when we noted his minutes would be reduced, and that's been the case throughout the year.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones could have his minutes reduced this season.

The Miami Herald writes that it's "difficult to envision much time for James Jones," but that's not totally unexpected given his role in the 2012 postseason. After averaging just 13 minutes per game in 2011-12, Jones could be looking at even fewer minutes in 2012-13.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones could be in danger of not making the final Heat roster.

With the additions of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis coupled with a healthy Mike Miller and Shane Battier also on the team, Jones' value as a 3-point specialist is rapidly declining. He barely played in the postseason and could be shown the door in training camp if the team decides to go another route. He's not on the fantasy radar, and if waived, Jones probably wouldn't be out of work for long.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones, who was said to be contemplating retirement, now says he wants to come back to the Heat despite the fact they signed 3-point shooters Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis.

He wants to play out the final two seasons on his contract, which includes a 2013-14 player option, but if he wasn't able to make a huge impact without Allen and Lewis, he's going to have an even tougher time next season. "If there is a trade or anything like that, we'll cross that bridge if we get there," he said about possibly retiring. "But, like I said, I have no desire to be anywhere else but by Miami."

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones is contemplating retirement following the Heat winning the 2012 NBA championship.

"Mentally and physically, it’s taken a toll on not just on me, but for my family," Jones said. "At some point, you know the game comes to an end. You see the writing on the wall." Jones admitted that he was thinking of retirement even before this season started, so it's entirely possible he decides to walk away as a champion.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones (migraine) is expected to be available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.

The most playing time Jones has seen in a postseason game this year is 17 minutes, so we're not expecting any miracles. Regardless, he'll be available should Erik Spoelstra choose to deploy him.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones did not play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals due to a migraine.

Miami thought he would be able to play earlier on Tuesday, but it turned out that he wasn't feeling well enough to give it a go. He should be available for Game 2 on Thursday.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones was ejected from Thursday's game during the second quarter after intentionally shoving Joakim Noah.

Jones was assessed a Flagrant-2 and it's doubtful there will be any additional punishment from the league. He was clearly trying to send a message to Noah in advance of the playoffs.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones (hand) returned to action on Monday, scoring three points on 1-of-5 shooting (including a three) with two assists, a steal, and a block in 30 minutes off the bench.

Jones needs a lot to work in his favor to pan out in fantasy leagues, even for those owners that are simply hunting 3-pointers.

James Jones (hand) will play in Monday's game against the Nets.

Jones said his Sunday dislocation wasn't a big deal and it turns out he was right. With Dwyane Wade resting, Jones is in line for a bump in minutes off the bench.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

X-rays on James Jones' left hand Sunday revealed a dislocation.

Jones appeared to sustain the injury when he got pushed into a screen by Iman Shumpert. The damage is on his non-shooting hand. If Jones ends up sidelined, the Heat can simply turn to Mike Miller as their designated sharpshooter off the bench. For what it's worth, Jones says he will be fine.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones started for a resting Dwyane Wade on Friday, scoring six points on 2-of-7 shooting (2-of-5 from deep) with two assists in 24 minutes.

If Wade misses time down the road, give Jones a look for his 3-point shooting and nothing more.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones got hot and hit 6-of-8 shots (all six were 3-pointers) for 18 points and four steals in Sunday's easy win.

Dwyane Wade was out with an ankle injury and Norris Cole has fallen out of the rotation. Jones could start to get some nice run for the Heat, so keep an eye on him if you need a 3-point shooter. Just beware that he hadn't scored in his previous nine games.

James Jones - G/F - Heat

James Jones didn't do much in a start at SG in place of Dwyane Wade on Saturday, scoring two points with three rebounds in 15 minutes of action.

Jones and Shane Battier (seven points) have swapped starting duties in Wade's absence, depending upon opponents, and tonight Battier logged 30 minutes off the bench. Mike Miller (eight points in 21 minutes) also outplayed Jones, who is only an option as a 3-point specialist in very deep leagues.
