London Lightning News Release
(LONDON, ON) - The London Lightning of the National Basketball League of Canada announced Wednesday the re-signing American guard, Chris Jones, for the 2023 season.
Coming off an All-Star season that culminated with an NBL Canada Championship, Chris Jones makes his return to the Forest City to help the Bolts defend their title and try to go back-to-back for a third time in Franchise history.
The 6'0 guard averaged 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 17 regular season games last season for the Bolts and was a candidate for Finals MVP after several statistically impressive games during the playoffs.
"Say what you want about Chris Jones but if we didn't have Chris last year, we're not the reigning champs. We had some hiccups last season but Chris is a winner and the type of competitor that holds his teammates accountable for the effort they put in." - Head Coach Doug Plumb
The Lightning training camp will now get underway Monday, January 9th with more players and a full training camp roster to be announced in the days leading up to camp. Lightning season tickets are now on sale with single-game tickets set to go on sale shortly.
