Jones is set to return from a six-game layoff. The Spurs guard has been in and out of the lineup due to a string of injuries and is looking to establish himself in a bench role. He'll have to get past Stephon Castle on the depth chart to make his mark, though.
McCain is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus, so who could take his spot as ROY frontrunner?
Castle is back after sitting out Friday's win over Portland. Given the conservative approach the Spurs usually take with players returning from injury, the rookie will likely come off the bench on Sunday. If so, Jeremy Sochan and Julian Champagnie will remain in the starting lineup.
Castle (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Castle and Jones sat out Friday's win over Portland, with the latter missing San Antonio's last five games. Castle's availability will be more impactful on fantasy basketball as Jeremy Sochan moved into the starting lineup in his absence. As for Jones, he only has value when Chris Paul is injured or gets thrown out of a game, as was the case on Friday.
