Jonathan Elmore (born December 20, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for the Stockton Kings of the NBA G League.
After the season Elmore declared for the 2018 NBA draft but did not hire an agent, thus leaving open the possibility of returning to Marshall, which he did.

The Skyforce finished the regular season 20 - 12 and reached the Conference Finals where they would be eliminated by the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
