U.S.A. – Kai Jones continues to make the most of this late season run for the Dallas Mavericks.

A perfect night from the field, the obligatory dunk highlight and a win for the Dallas Mavericks.

Jones finished with 13 points on 5-5 shooting from the field and added nine rebounds in the mavericks 120-103 win over the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday night at Barclay’s Center in New York.

Since he was signed to a two-way deal in late February, Jones has been one of the most consistent standouts in the Mavericks’ shorthanded frontcourt.

Through four games he’s averged 15.5 points and 8.8 rebounds in just about 28 minutes per game.

Dallas improved to 35-37, in a neck-and-neck race with Phoenix Suns for the final Western Conference play-in spot.

Basketball

We’ve seen what it looks like in the WNBA when Jonquel Jones is paired with an MVP caliber player – it looks just as dominant in the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association.

Jones is paired former WNBA All-Star Liz Cambage for Sichuan Yuanda and their paint presence has led the Club to a 2-0 series lead in the WCBA semifinal.

Jones finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds in just 24 minutes of her club’s 102-59 win over shanxi in game Two earlier today.

It followed a 14 point, 16 rebound performance in a 79-74 win in game one.

The conclusion of the college basketball season usually means attention shifts to the transactions and Romad Dean could be on the move to a new program.

The Rams finished 12-21 on the season.

As a sophomore he averaged 4.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.

At the conclusion of that season, he entered the transfer portal, but withdrew his name in less than 24 hours to return to Fordham.
