In the previous NBA regular season, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Atlanta Hawks 135-126 at home. After this game, the Spurs, who had won three consecutive victories, improved their record to 11 wins and 4 losses, and their ranking rose to fifth in the Western Conference; while the Hawks, who suffered two consecutive losses, had a record of 9 wins and 7 losses, and their ranking fell to eighth in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the Spurs' new substitute backcourt star David Jones Garcia, who rarely got a lot of playing time, performed very eye-catchingly and showed his super personal ability. Jones played 18 minutes and 33 seconds, shooting 5 of 7, 1 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul. His plus-minus reached a game-high +25. Jones has shown comprehensive scoring ability. Not only does he have sharp breakthroughs and excellent finishing skills, but he also has certain outside shooting ability, and opponents have no way to effectively restrict him. Not only that, Jones also has very good passing ability and organizational ability, which also plays a very good role. In addition, Jones also proved that he has super personal defensive ability, and his stealing ability is also top-level. Jones showed a very high sense of presence in the limited playing time and made a huge contribution to the team's victory. The plus-minus value of +25 can even illustrate how good the game was when he was on the court.

Jones was born in November 2001. He is 23 years old and was the undrafted pick in last year's NBA draft. According to the physical test data from the joint trial before last year's NBA draft, Jones' barefoot height is 191.8cm, his wingspan is 200cm, his standing reach is 254cm, and his weight is 95.8kg. Jones received a two-way contract from the Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz last season, but has been unable to appear in the NBA and has been spending time in the NBA Development League. Jones represented the Spurs in the NBA Summer League this summer. His phenomenal performance in the summer league earned him a two-way contract from the Spurs.

Since the start of this season, Jones has played a total of 5 times in the first 15 games, averaging 7.2 minutes per game, averaging 4.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.2 blocks, 0.2 turnovers and 0.6 fouls. He shot 66.7% from the field, 100% from the three-point range, and 40% from the free throw line. Jones was unable to get more playing opportunities in previous games, which also resulted in his inability to utilize his full talents. Unexpectedly, in this game, Jones seized the opportunity and showed his super personal ability. For the Spurs, this is actually a happy trouble. On the one hand, Jones' explosion has given the team another player who is capable of entering the rotation. However, on the other hand, the team's backcourt is strong and when the injured return, will Jones still get a chance to perform?
