Dahntay Jones played in only one regular-season game for the Cavs in 2015-16 … but he did appear in 15 playoff games

Jones was a very late pickup by Cleveland last season, essentially a playoff roster filler, and appeared only in the regular season finale. Due to a number of blowouts in the postseason, the veteran swingman was able to see some time on the court.

Although his career in Cleveland was very short-lived, he will be remembered by fans for his shot on Bismack Biyombo which netted him a one-game suspension, and more importantly, his quality minutes in Game 6 of the finals.
Whatever step Dahntay Jones will take next in his career, one thing’s for sure, he is now a champion.
