With five years of NBA experience in the books since going undrafted in 2020, Mason Jones (26) is the second-oldest player on the Sacramento Kings 2025 Las Vegas Summer League roster.
It’s his fourth Summer League appearance and second with Sacramento. Jones was on a two-way contract last season, where he helped lead the Stockton Kings to a G-League Championship, earning Finals MVP honors in the process.
Through 27 games with Stockton, Jones averaged 23.6 points, 7.9 assists, and 5.1 rebounds on 49/44/79 shooting splits.
But the 6’4 guard only had four instances where he logged at least five minutes for the main club in Sacramento.
Coming into this offseason without a deal in place — Dylan Cardwell and Isaiah Stevens are their only current two-way deals — it was unclear whether Jones would be wearing royal purple in Vegas.

“When Scott (Perry) asked me to play, it was just a no-brainer,” Jones said after Saturday’s shootaround. With a new general manager in place, he’s aiming to leave a good impression and earn a deal.
“I love [Sacramento],” he continued. “That’s why I’m doing Summer League here because I want to continue to showcase what I can do to everybody else, but also to Scott.”
Last offseason, he showed up to the California Classic having lost a significant amount of weight and it paid off.
This time around, Jones is continuing to focus on improving his defense (on and off-ball) while remaining an efficient, versatile offensive threat.
Uneligable for a two-way, he seems to be fighing for the Kings’ final open roster spot, but they could easily manueveur to create room if they deemed him worthy.

Summer League is a chaotic brand of basketball, as a wide variety of players and individual goals can take away from the team aspect.
Sacramento’s 2025 Las Vegas roster seems to be a bit more cohesive. Devin Carter, the 13th pick in 2024, headlines their roster.
With returning players from their G-League championship last season, such as Mason Jones, Isaac Jones, and Isaiah Crawford, they have (relatively) experienced leaders in place.
