• Clippers' Derrick Jones: Efficient in win Sunday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones finished Sunday's 112-104 victory over the Warriors with 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes. Jones showed an efficient touch from the floor Sunday and missed just three of his 10 shots en route to his best scoring output of the current campaign. The efficiency has been remarkable for the nine-year veteran, and even though he's bound to regress sooner than later, his percentages are eye-popping right now. Through three outings, Jones is shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 60 percent from three-point range while averaging 13.0 points per contest.

  Jones will start Wednesday's game against the Suns, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

With Leonard slated to miss multiple weeks, Jones is in line for extended run with the first unit to start the season. Jones started in 66 of 76 regular-season games with Dallas last season, averaging 8.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 23.5 minutes.

  Jones (rest) is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Suns, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Jones missed the club's final preseason game due to rest purposes, though he is expected to be 100 percent for the Clippers' Opening Night. The 27-year-old will likely draw the start with Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out. Jones is coming off a productive season with the Mavericks, and he should play a prominent role with the Clippers.

• Clippers' Derrick Jones: Leading scorer in preseason win

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones scored a team-high 16 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT) while adding one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 101-99 preseason win over the Trail Blazers. After scoring just three points combined in the Clippers' first two preseason contests, Jones got his offense rolling Friday. The veteran forward is expected to be a glue player for Los Angeles this season after signing a three-year deal, $30 million contract in free agency, but his fantasy contributions are likely to be modest -- he averaged a career-high 8.6 points and 1.1 threes for the Mavericks in 2023-24.
