Clippers' Derrick Jones: Serviceable again in win
Jones finished Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Rockets with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes.
Jones continues to play a significant role for the Clippers, having now logged at least 27 minutes in four straight games. While he is typically what some might consider a low-volume player, Jones has been able to extract an awful amount from his limited fantasy game. In his four appearances over the past week, he has averaged 9.0 points, 1.5 three-pointers and 2.8 combined steals and blocks. Even those in standard leagues could consider him for defensive streaming purposes.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Full stat line Sunday
Jones closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 win over the Timberwolves.
Jones continues to work his way back from an extended absence with a knee injury, chipping in a full stat line. Over his last three appearances, Jones has averaged 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Starts Friday
Jones started Friday's game against the Kings, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Kobe Sanders was named the starter for Friday's game, but it was Jones who was on the floor for the opening tip, and it's not clear what prompted the change. Jones made his return Wednesday from a 15-game absence and logged seven points, two rebounds and one block over 21 minutes in the Clippers' 124-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Little production in return
Jones (knee) closed with seven points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 124-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Though Jones logged 20-plus minutes in his first game since Jan. 3 after missing just over a month due to a Grade 2 right knee sprain, his statistical output was muted during his time on the court. Inconsistent production has been a trend for Jones throughout his career, so even if his playing time increases as he gets ramped up, fantasy managers should prepare for plenty of ebbs and flows with his numbers. For the season, the 28-year-old forward is averaging 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers, 1.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 24.1 minutes per game over his 18 appearances.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Ready for return
Jones (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Jones has been cleared for a return after missing the last month with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee. He was recalled to the NBA club Friday after finishing a rehab stint in the G League and figures to be available off the bench for Wednesday's matchup. Jones is averaging 10.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks in 17 games so far this season.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Won't play Monday
Jones (knee) will not play Monday against the 76ers.
Jones recently completed a rehab stint in the G League and is nearing a return to action. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Cavaliers. Across 17 appearances this season, Jones has averaged 10.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Recalled to NBA on Friday
Los Angeles recalled Jones (knee) from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Friday.
Jones is seemingly nearing a return to action after being sidelined for a month and is now back with the main club from a short practice period in the G League. The 28-year-old will aim to appear in one of his team's home games during the first week of February, although he could have his minutes managed in the short term. When he was healthy at the beginning of the season, he made 13 starts, averaging 10.5 points per game over that span.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Practices in G League
The Clippers assigned Jones (knee) to the G League's San Diego Clippers on Tuesday.
Head coach Tyronn Lue indicated over the weekend that Jones had resumed practicing in a limited fashion, so the forward's assignment to the G League likely indicates that he was able to get in some more on-court work Tuesday. The Clippers are currently in the midst of a three-game road trip, and while Jones appears unlikely to be available for the next two contests in Denver and Phoenix, he could get the green light to play shortly after the team returns home during the upcoming week.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Resumes practicing
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said that Jones (knee) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Shams Charania of ESPN previously reported that Jones would be re-evaluated in about six weeks after he sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain of his right knee in a Jan. 3 loss to the Celtics, but the fact that the veteran forward is practicing in some capacity less than a month later suggesting he's progressing much more quickly than anticipated. Given that Jones previously missed 17 straight games earlier this season due to an MCL sprain of the same knee, the Clippers are likely to proceed cautiously with bringing him back. That said, if Jones experiences no setbacks in his next handful of practices, he looks like he could have a chance at returning to action before the All-Star break.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: To be re-evaluated in six weeks
Jones has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Sunday.
Jones suffered a sprained right MCL on Nov. 16 in a loss to the Celtics and appeared in just four games before re-injuring the same knee in Saturday's loss to Boston. The 28-year-old forward is set to be re-evaluated during the All-Star break, meaning he isn't expected to return until mid-to-late February at the earliest. With Jones sidelined, Nicolas Batum, Kobe Sanders and Kobe Brown are candidates for increased playing time going forward.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Dealing with right knee injury
Jones suffered a right knee injury during the fourth quarter of the Clippers' 146-115 loss to the Celtics on Saturday and did not return, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Jones could put barely any weight on his right leg while being helped to the locker room. The injury is to the same knee he hurt against Boston on Nov. 16, which caused Jones to miss 17 straight games. Jones will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the veteran forward is in jeopardy of being sidelined for Monday's contest against the Warriors. Kobe Sanders and Nicolas Batum would be in line for more minutes off the bench if Jones were to miss time.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Goes to locker room
Jones went to the locker room early in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Celtics, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reports.
Jones appeared to roll his right ankle in a collision with Payton Pritchard, and the former was helped off the floor and into the locker room without putting much pressure on the affected leg. If Jones doesn't return, he'll finish with 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes. Nicolas Batum and Kris Dunn could see more minutes down the stretch if Jones remains in the locker room.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Limited output in return
Jones (knee) tallied three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds across 18 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Clippers' 112-99 win over the Pistons.
After starting in each of his first 13 appearances of the season before being shut down in mid-November due to an MCL sprain of his right knee, Jones was eased back into the rotation as a reserve in his return to action Sunday. The 28-year-old offered little production in his limited run, and though Jones' playing time should climb a bit in his future appearances, he could struggle to see a consistent 25-to-30-minute role when both Kawhi Leonard and John Collins (illness) are available.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Coming off bench Sunday
Jones will come off the bench and be on a minutes restriction Sunday against the Pistons, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Jones has been sidelined since Nov. 16 due to an MCL sprain, but he will make his return to the lineup in a reserve role Sunday. Not surprisingly, Jones will face a minutes restriction in his return.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Returning to action Sunday
Jones (knee) is off the injury report and will be available for Sunday's game against Detroit, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Jones has been out of action since Nov. 16 due to a sprained MCL, so if he plays Sunday, he'll likely be operating with heavy restrictions. His return could result in fewer minutes for rookie Kobe Sanders, who has been a mainstay in the rotation over the last five-plus weeks. Before missing time due to the injury, Jones averaged 10.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks across 24.9 minutes per game over 13 appearances.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Going through 5-on-5 work
Jones (knee) has progressed to going through 5-on-5 work, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Jones is nearing his return from a sprained MCL, as going through 5-on-5 work is typically the final step in the rehab process. Jones will likely have heavy minutes restrictions in his first few games back, but once he's fully up to speed, he could chip away at Jordan Miller's minutes.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Progressing in recovery
Jones (knee) was spotted working on the side during Saturday's practice, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Jones suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee in mid-November against the Celtics. His return to the court Saturday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is an encouraging sign, and head coach Ty Lue relayed that Jones has progressed to 3-on-3 work and is ahead of his recovery schedule, per NBA writer Justin Russo. In 13 regular-season games before sustaining the injury, Jones averaged 10.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 threes, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals over 24.9 minutes per game.
