Derrick Jones Latest News
Moving to starting role
Jones is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Head coach Ty Lue will tweak the starting unit for Wednesday's contest, and Jones will be the biggest beneficiary. He'll return to the first unit after not starting in three of the Clippers' last four contests. Jones is averaging 9.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game as a starter in 2024-25.
Exits early Monday
Coach Tyronn Lue said postgame that Jones didn't return to Monday's 109-98 win over the Heat due to a hand injury, though Lue added that the forward was available to return and the hand shouldn't be a problem moving forward, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. Jones finished the game with nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one assist and one steal across 16 minutes. Jones exited to the locker room with 10:20 remaining in the fourth quarter and didn't return. However, Lue relayed that Jones is fine, meaning he should be good to go for Wednesday's matchup versus Brooklyn. The 27-year-old will likely remain with the second unit moving forward, though he could find himself in the starting lineup if Kawhi Leonard is given the day off during the first leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday.
Starting sans Leonard
Jones is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Jones will get the starting nod in the absence of Kawhi Leonard (personal) on Wednesday. The veteran forward has started 32 games for the Clippers this season, averaging 9.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 threes in 24.7 minutes over this period. Jones is worth streaming as a stopgap solution for steals in fantasy leagues Wednesday.
Ceding starting spot to Leonard
Jones is not in the Clippers' starting lineup against the Hawks on Saturday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Jones has started in all 32 games he's played in this season and is averaging a career-high 9.8 points per game across 24.7 minutes. However, he will come off the bench Saturday due to the return of Kawhi Leonard (knee), while Kris Dunn remains in the Clippers' starting five. Per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, Leonard will be operating on a minutes restriction, so Jones should still see a good amount of playing time in a reserve role.
Posts solid line
Jones amassed 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 116-113 victory over New Orleans. This was a solid all-around performance for Jones as he reached double figures for the third straight game. During that stretch, he's posted averages of 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks. Keep in mind that his usage could take a hit when the Clippers presumably get Kawhi Leonard (knee) back in the near future.
Notches steal and block in return
Jones (hamstring) tallied eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block across 20 minutes in Thursday's 118-95 win over the Mavericks. Jones returned to the fold after a two-game absence due to a right hamstring strain. He took back his spot in the starting five from Amir Coffey but was eased back in with a lighter role than usual, as he saw about five fewer minutes than his season-long average (24.8). While Jones looks poised to stick on the top unit for the time being, he could be at risk of moving to the bench when Kawhi Leonard (knee) is cleared to make his season debut, which could happen as soon as next week.
Starting vs. Mavs
Jones (hamstring) will play Thursday night against Dallas, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Jones has missed his squad's last two matchups while on the mend from a right hamstring strain, but has been given the green light to suit up Thursday. He'll rejoin the first unit, though coach Tyronn Lue noted the UNLV product will be on a minutes restriction, per Azarly. He was averaging 10.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in his previous 10 appearances before going down with the injury.
Listed questionable for Thursday
Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Jones was initially expected to be out for around two weeks according to a report from Dec. 10, but the former UNLV standout seems to be recovering quicker than expected. The questionable tag suggests a decision on Jones' status will be made closer to Thursday's 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If he can't go, though, then Nicolas Batum would likely remain in the starting lineup.
Out at least two weeks
The Clippers announced Tuesday that Jones has a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Jones started each of the Clippers' first 25 games, averaging 25.0 minutes a night, so his absence will be a big blow. However, the Clippers also got some positive injury news Tuesday, as James Harden (groin), Mo Bamba (knee), Amir Coffey (shoulder) and Kris Dunn (illness) all logged full practices, while Kawhi Leonard (knee) was a partial participant.
