The Phoenix Suns have assigned forward Derrick Jones Jr. to the Northern Arizona Suns, their NBA Development League affiliate.
This is Jones' first assignment to the NAZ Suns of the season. The rookie out of UNLV has not yet appeared in a regular season game with the Phoenix Suns after totaling seven points in two games during the preseason.
The NAZ Suns tip off their inaugural season on Nov. 12 against the Iowa Energy at the Prescott Valley Event Center. The team released its full training camp roster earlier this week.
