The evolution of the injury will dictate his availability to reintegrate into the active squad, via the report.

The team did not provide a particular timeline for his return.

The 29-year-old American is shining in his first season in Valencia.

Jones averages 14.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 17.6 PIR over 10 EuroLeague games this season.

His numbers in the ACB league are similar: 15.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 17.2 PIR in nine matches.

Valencia plays Real Madrid tomorrow on the domestic front, then the Spanish powerhouse travels to Tel Aviv where Maccabi are set to welcome the Spaniards in Thursday's EuroLeague game. Next week battles will be capped off at home, as Marc Gasol's Basquet Girona arrive in Valencia in the local league (November 11).

Valencia shares 9th-12th places in the EuroLeague table with 5 wins and 6 losses and claims 10th-12th spots in the ACB league (4-5 record).
