Danny Jones (born October 24, 1968) is a retired American professional basketball player.

Career

He was a standout for the University of Wisconsin but was never drafted to the National Basketball Association (NBA). Instead, he played for the Rockford Lightning in the 1990–91 Continental Basketball Association season where he averaged 12.2 points and 4.3 rebounds in 24 games. The following season, he played for the La Crosse Catbirds that won the league championship.

From there, Jones proceeded to the World Basketball League where he suited up for Erie Wave and normed 20.6 points per game. Initially, out of college, he saw action for Efes Pilsen in Turkey, and then went to the Philippines to play for Ginebra San Miguel in the Philippine Basketball Association.

He won back-to-back Circuito Mexicano de Básquetbol (CIMEBA) titles with the Soles de Jalisco.
