I feel terrible for Josh Jones. So sad his career is over. He's been a joy to watch and get to know over the last 6 years. @62JJonesy
I want to wish @62JJonesy the best of luck in wherever life leads him next. This isn't the end, rather, a new beginning.
Fav memory of @62JJonesy is clutch play vs Evansville he didnt want Antoine to lose last home game. Thats the type of man Josh is, selfless.
Thank you @62JJonesy for providing us with such enjoyment over the last 5 years. Your positive attitude is an inspiration. #legend
@62JJonesy As one door closes many more will open. Thoughts, prayers, and well wishes headed your way. Go Jays! Thx for the memories!
@62JJonesy I will miss hearing "Josh Jones for 3" at Creighton games, but a healthy Josh Jones sounds even better!
@62JJonesy truly inspirational. Thank you. You're a true #legend. You are what @BluejayMBB is truly about.
@62JJonesy Josh, know how much we love and respect you. This is such a hard thing to deal with. Wish we could take the hurt away.
I feel terrible for @62JJonesy .. I think all athletes should hear his story and be able to learn something from it. Can't take any game..
