What happened: Jones agreed to a one-year deal with Pallacanestro Trieste of Lega Basket Serie A. The move came after Golden State filled its final two-way spot with undrafted big Graham Ike, with the club retaining Jones' draft rights.

Why it matters: Stashing Jones preserves a development path without using a roster spot during the 2026-27 season. Trieste plans collaboration with Golden State staff on his minutes and role. Wing Malevy Leons holds a two-way deal but loses eligibility next season, leaving a future opening Jones could fill.

What to watch: Watch Jones' role and production across Trieste's 2026-27 Serie A schedule. Golden State can monitor his rights, recall him to camp, or include them in a trade.
