After finishing the 2024/25 season on a two-way contract with Sacramento, free agent guard Mason Jones is in the process of finalizing a deal with the Perth Wildcats of Australia’s National Basketball League, reports Olgun Uluc of ESPN.
A 6’4″ shooting guard who went undrafted out of Arkansas in 2020, Jones has spent most of his professional career bouncing back and forth between the NBA and the G League, having seen action in 51 total regular season games for the Rockets, Sixers, Lakers, and Kings. He has played sparingly at the NBA level, averaging 4.4 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 9.0 minutes per contest, with a .427/.329/.663 shooting line.
Jones, who also had a brief stint overseas with Darussafaka in Turkey in 2023, signed a two-year, two-way contract with Sacramento in February 2024 and played out that deal, which expired this summer. The 27-year-old had a big year for the Stockton Kings in 2024/25, averaging 23.6 PPG, 7.9 APG, and 5.1 RPG on .492/.447/.790 shooting in 27 outings.
Jones earned a spot on the All-NBAGL second team and was named the Most Valuable Player of the G League Finals after Stockton captured the league’s 2025 title.
Uluc had reported earlier this week that Perth was considering a number of NBA veterans for its final import spot, with Kobi Simmons and Yuri Collins among the other free agents who had recently received some interest. The Wildcats are coming off an 18-11 season in which they were eliminated from the NBL playoffs in the semifinals by Melbourne United.
