Report: Former King Mason Jones is headed to the NBL

Mason Jones, G-League Finals MVP for the Stockton Kings in 2024-25, is reportedly headed overseas for the next chapter of his basketball journey.

According to ESPN’s Olgun Uluc, Jones “is finalising a deal with the Perth Wildcats.”

Last season, his second with Sacramento, Jones averaged 23.6 points and 7.9 assists on 49.2/44.7/79.0 shooting in 27 appearances.

As mentioned, he was a major factor in Stockton’s first G-League title, earning Finals MVP honors.

Mason Jones – a 6’4 American guard – is finalising a deal with the Perth Wildcats, sources told ESPN. Jones is coming off a two-way deal with the Sacramento Kings; he averaged 23.6 ppg (44.7% 3PT; 8.4 3PA), 5.0 rpg, and 7.8 apg for the Stockton Kings in the NBA G-League.

The 27-year-old played just 45 total minutes for Sacramento. On no occasion did he log double-digit minutes.

After going undrafted in 2020, Jones used his final season of two-way eligibility.

Despite expressing his desire to remain with the Kings after playing for their Summer League squad, new general manager Scott Perry went in another direction.

Their roster is currently full, although they can bring three more players into training camp to compete for positions.

Jones takes his talents to the NBL in Australia, a league that’s regarded as one of the best after the NBA.

Dylan Windler is another former NBA talent that Jones is expected to team up with in Perth.
