So why would he be shooting baskets will being treated for leukemia? Jones explained:
I have to be active, can’t just stay in one spot all day.

Hopefully shooting and playing ball is uplifting his spirit and helping him fight.
Jones was averaging 13.5 points per game for the Longhorns this season. The team has been motivated to win in his honor and has defeated TCU, Texas Tech and Oklahoma since his announcement.
