Rockets forward Terrence Jones will miss Thursday's game against the Suns after he was involved in a car accident on his way to the airport for the team's flight Wednesday, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Jones was not injured in the wreck, according to the report. The Rockets allowed him to skip their one-game road trip to Phoenix to recover.

Jones is averaging 9.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

His absence leaves the door open for Josh Smith and Clint Capela to get more playing time.
