On August 3, 2021, he officially signed with the Charlotte Hornets. In October 2023, Jones hit the headlines after he publicly requested a trade on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Charlotte Hornets big man, Jones on Tuesday, October 9 posted on X and shared in an Instagram post that he’s formally seeking an exit from the team.

This comes as Jones is indefinitely away from the team. The Hornets announced on September 30, 2023, that he would miss training camp for “personal reasons” and that there’s no firm timeline for when he’ll be back.

His exile came after he reportedly made derisive remarks about multiple players on the Hornets roster. He also made a series of erratic posts via social media.

First, he was dismissive of Mark Williams and Nick Richards, and then he claimed he’s a better player than LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.
