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.

Career History
Derrick Jones Latest News
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.
Out with hamstring issue
Jones won't return to Sunday's game against the Rockets due to right hamstring soreness, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. He totaled two points (1-1 FG) and one block over 12 minutes before exiting. Jones didn't have much of an impact before his departure, and it'll be up to Nicolas Batum, Jordan Miller and Kai Jones to eat up minutes in the frontcourt with Amir Coffey (shoulder) also sidelined. Jones will be considered day-to-day until further notice.
Scores 14 points in loss
Jones finished Wednesday's 108-80 loss to Minnesota with 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes. The Clippers struggled badly on offense and mustered only 80 total points, but Jones was one of the few players who managed to score in double digits. Jones has scored in double digits in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 11.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in that stretch. He's not going to stand out as a scorer most of the time, but he'll remain valuable in fantasy as long as he stays in a starting role due to his across-the-board contributions.
Logs 15 points
Jones produced 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 127-105 win over the Trail Blazers. This was Jones' fifth game of the season with at least 15 points. He was ice cold before this performance, as he was held to six or fewer points in three previous outings. He's not the most consistent fantasy option, but he's currently sitting inside the top-150 players in nine-category formats with averages of 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers.
Efficient in win over 76ers
Jones provided 18 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-99 victory over the 76ers. Jones snapped his slump in the win over the Kings on Friday, but he continued to display a hot hand in this easy 26-point win over the 76ers. Jones is averaging a mere 10.3 points per game in November, but there's no question his last two outings suggest he's trending in the right direction.
Snaps shooting slump Friday
Jones supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 104-88 win over the Kings. The journeyman forward broke out for one of his best offensive performances so far in 2024-25, but it comes on the heels of a four-game stretch in which he shot 36.4 percent from the floor while failing to top eight points in any of the contests. Jones is still headed for the best season of his career as a strong three-and-D presence in the Clippers' starting five, averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting 42.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Sets season high in loss
Jones chipped in 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 134-128 loss to Oklahoma City. Jones produced a bounce-back game after scoring only four points and shooting 1-for-5 from the field in Saturday's win over Toronto. The 27-year-old has reached the double-digit mark in scoring in seven of 11 regular-season outings, though his 20 points Monday marks a new season high. Jones has averaged 11.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 45.2 percent from beyond the arc across 27.1 minutes per game thus far.
Drops double digits in win
Jones added 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a block over 22 minutes in Monday's 113-104 win against San Antonio. Jones has been very involved in the Clippers offense, attempting at least six shots in every game so far. He is averaging 10.1 points and 27.4 minutes this season, both of which would be career highs, and while his efficiency has dipped following his first three games, his willingness to shoot allows for big scoring potential moving forward.
Efficient in win Sunday
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.
