Suns' Derrick Jones: Assigned to D-League
Jones was assigned to the D-League's Northern Arizona Suns on Wednesday.
Analysis:
Jones recently finished as the runner-up to the Pacers' Glenn Robinson in the Verizon Slam Dunk Contest in New Orleans over All-Star weekend, but the rookie hasn't been a rotation option for the Suns this season. As a result, he'll head back to Northern Arizona for the sixth time this season and will log some extended playing time in their game Wednesday against the Windy City Bulls.
