Clippers’ Derrick Jones Jr. out again with right knee MCL sprain
Jones suffered a second MCL sprain in the same knee after returning from a 17-game absence; he will miss at least six weeks, risking all games before the All-Star break.
- Derrick Jones Jr., the Los Angeles Clippers forward, was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right MCL sprain and will be re-evaluated in six weeks, ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Sunday.
- Battling at midcourt for a loose ball, Jones collided with Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard, limping off after re-injuring the same knee four games into his return last week.
- Playing 25 minutes and hitting 3-of-4 threes, Jones had been a 40% three-point shooter and a key three-and-D who started the first 13 games and 55 games last season.
- With perimeter depth strained, three perimeter players sidelined increase pressure on the front office to act before the February 5 trade deadline for the Los Angeles Clippers.
- Riding a recent six-game winning streak, the Los Angeles Clippers got Ivica Zubac back Saturday, but losing Derrick Jones Jr. deepens their need for two-way perimeter players.
