BIO: Mason Jones was born in Dallas, Texas (USA). There he attended Triple A Academy in Dallas, where he did not begin playing organised basketball until his senior year. In his lone high-school season he averaged 15.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, showcasing natural scoring ability and playmaking instincts despite being new to competitive basketball. After graduation he attended Link Year Prep in Branson, Missouri for a postgraduate season, where he transformed his conditioning and trimmed his weight from 265 pounds to 230 while refining his perimeter skills and shooting.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Mason Jones made his NBL debut with the Perth Wildcats at 27 years of age. He scored 16 points in his first game.

John Rillie returned for his fourth season as head coach, retaining Kristian Doolittle, Dylan Windler, Ben Henshall, Elijah Pepper, captain Jesse Wagstaff, David Okwera, Dontae Russo-Nance and Thomas Gerovich. Jo Lual-Acuil Jr (via Alexandria), Sunday Dech (via Adelaide), Lat Mayen (via Adelaide), Mason Jones (via Stockton), Next Star Noa Kouakou-Heugue (via France), Jaron Rillie (via Northern Colorado) and development player Cameron Huefner (via Sam Houston State) were added to the roster.

Jones joined Perth on a one-year deal after leading the Stockton Kings to the 2025 NBA G League championship and earning Finals MVP honours, arriving as the final player signing.

Perth opened the season against Tasmania at RAC Arena on September 20, where Jones finished with 16 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. Lual-Acuil Jr (15 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block) and Doolittle (12 points and 6 rebounds) supported him, but Bryce Hamilton (26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals) led the JackJumpers to a 75-72 win after Jones missed a potential game-tying three-pointer at the final buzzer.

Jones struggled in Perth’s first victory of the season against New Zealand at Spark Arena on September 27, finishing with 2 points after missing all eight of his field-goal attempts. Lual-Acuil Jr (21 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks), Windler (20 points and 15 rebounds) and Doolittle (16 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists) led the Wildcats, who responded to a 15-0 Breakers run with 17 consecutive points of their own to win 89-78.

Jones produced a more balanced performance against defending champion Illawarra at RAC Arena on October 2, recording 12 points, 1 rebound, and 4 assists in 34:08. He scored 10 points during the second half as Lual-Acuil Jr (22 points), Doolittle (17 points) and Windler (16 points and 14 rebounds) helped Perth recover from an early 14-point deficit to win 92-84 and improve to 2-1.

Perth travelled to Cairns on October 10, where Jones contributed 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block in 29:41. Lual-Acuil Jr dominated with 30 points and 10 rebounds, while Windler added 17 points and 11 rebounds as the Wildcats held on for an 80-77 victory and improved to 3-1.

Jones recorded his highest-scoring game against Brisbane at RAC Arena on October 15, making six of 12 field-goal attempts and three three-pointers to finish with 19 points and 3 assists in 22:59. He scored 10 points during the third quarter as Perth attempted to recover but fouled out with five minutes remaining. Casey Prather (34 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists) and Tyrell Harrison (27 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists) led Brisbane to a 110-93 victory.

Jones averaged 11.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks across five games, starting each appearance and playing 28.3 minutes per game. He made 35 percent of his field-goal attempts and 79 percent from the free-throw line as Perth opened the season with a 3-2 record.

Mason Jones was released by the Perth Wildcats after five games in the NBL26 season. Rillie explained that the decision was not based solely on Jones’ statistics, with the Wildcats seeking a guard who provided a better fit and balance alongside the other members of the roster.

David Duke Jr was signed as Jones’ replacement, joining Perth for the remainder of the season after previously playing with Brooklyn and San Antonio. Duke Jr added greater athleticism, defensive versatility and pressure at the rim, ending Jones’ brief Wildcats tenure less than six weeks after he had originally joined the club.

Mason Jones played one season in the NBL. He averaged 11.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 5 NBL games.
