However, Jones was reportedly uncooperative when an Indiana State Police officer attempted to pull him over for allegedly erratic driving, according to WTHR. Jones allegedly did not stop, leading to a brief chase.
The young guard was reportedly going 90 mph on I-65, which has a speed limit of 55 mph. When Jones finally stopped, he allegedly told the officer that he didn’t know he was speeding, and also mentioned that he was late for Pacers practice.

Jones has yet to play in a game for the Pacers, and is not expected to do so with the 2025-26 season opening with an NBA Finals rematch against the Oklahoma City Thunder later this week.
Jones, who starred at Marquette before being drafted, has been out with a back injury. When he returns to full health, he is expected to head to the team’s G-League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom.

Jones was known for his scoring ability while playing for Marquette, finishing second in the Big East last season with 19.2 points per game and second in the conference with 5.9 assists per game. He would be named a consensus second-team All-American and first-team All-Big East player before entering the NBA Draft.
