Knicks, Dillon Jones Agree To Two-Way Deal

Jones was drafted by the Thunder with the 26th overall pick in in 2024 and won a championship in his first NBA season. However, he played sparingly in Oklahoma City as a rookie, averaging 10.2 minutes per game in 54 regular season outings, then making 10 garbage-time appearances during the team’s title run.

Jones was traded to Washington in a salary-dump deal during the 2025 offseason, then was waived by the Wizards at the end of the preseason. The 6’5″ forward was selected by the Rip City Remix with the first overall pick in October’s G League draft and has spent the first half of the 2025/26 season with Portland’s NBAGL affiliate.

In 24 total outings for the Remix, Jones has averaged 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.8 steals in 37.5 minutes per game, posting a shooting line of .428/.336/.782.

The Knicks opened up a two-way slot earlier this month when they waived Tosan Evbuomwan prior to the league-wide salary guarantee date. That means they won’t have to make a corresponding roster move to open up a spot for Jones, who will join Kevin McCullar Jr. and Trey Jemison as New York’s two-way players.

Assuming his new deal is finalized on Tuesday or Wednesday, Jones will be eligible to be active for up to 24 regular season games for the Knicks.
