The Boston Celtics are reportedly circling in on free agent point guard Tyus Jones

The Boston Celtics are reportedly eyeing free agent point guard Tyus Jones as their next major roster addition — and fans have every reason to be excited.

After a Finals run that showcased the team's depth and resilience, Boston is now turning its attention to fine-tuning its backcourt. With veteran guard Derrick White expected to take on a heavier workload following Marcus Smart’s departure last year, adding a reliable secondary playmaker could be the missing piece. Enter Tyus Jones.

Jones, 28, is one of the most efficient and underrated floor generals in the league. Last season with the Washington Wizards, he averaged 12 points and 7.3 assists per game while shooting 48.9% from the field and an impressive 41.4% from beyond the arc. Known for his extremely low turnover rate and calm under pressure, Jones brings exactly the kind of poise and basketball IQ championship contenders crave.

What makes this potential signing even more appealing is Jones’ ability to mesh with a high-powered offense. He doesn’t demand the ball to be effective, can space the floor, and thrives in pick-and-roll situations — a valuable trait next to stars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Cap space and roster balance remain challenges, but Boston has proven resourceful in building a title-ready squad. If the front office can find a way to land Tyus Jones without sacrificing key assets, it could be a major win for the Celtics’ championship hopes.

As negotiations reportedly continue, all eyes will be on Boston to see if they can close the deal. If they do, the Celtics may have just quietly pulled off one of the smartest signings of the offseason.

Stay tuned. The Garden may soon be welcoming a new floor general.
