NoneThe Los Angeles Clippers have been one of the biggest surprises in an ultra-competitive Western Conference. Not much was expected of them once Paul George left the team in free agency to join the Philadelphia 76ers. Even less was expected of the Clippers once it was revealed Kawhi Leonard would not be ready to start the season. While Bill Simmons is hearing that Leonard should be back before Christmas , he hasn’t played through LA’s first 25 outings. Despite the adversity, the Clippers have a solid 14-11 record. Right now, that is good for sixth-best in the West which would keep them out of the Play-In Tournament. Of course, there is still a lot of season to go, plus Los Angeles has lost their last two games. Now the Clippers will be facing more adversity with the Derrick Jones Jr. injury news. Clippers Full-Time Starter Out Minimum Of Two Weeks Derrick Jones Jr. Injury News Not Good For LA The Clippers last played on Sunday where they fell to the Houston Rockets by the score of 117-106. Not only did they lose the game, but they lost one of their key pieces to injury. As announced by the team, Derrick Jones Jr. suffered a right hamstring strain during the contest. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Derrick Jones Jr. has a right hamstring strain and will he re-evaluated in two weeks, per the Clippers. — Dave McMenamin (@mcten) December 10, 2024 Jones Jr., a nine-year veteran, is in the midst of his first season with the Clippers. He signed a three-year, $30 million deal in free agency to join the team after spending last season with the Dallas Mavericks . The 6-foot-5 forward started all 22 postseason games for Dallas during their 2024 NBA Finals run (lost to the Boston Celtics). Both Jones Jr. and center Ivica Zubac were in the starting lineup for each of the Clippers first 25 outings of the season ( James Harden missed one game). Playing 25.0 minutes per contest, Jones Jr. has posted averages of 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 1.3 steals. The 27-year-old has shot 50.0% from the field, 41.7% from beyond the arc, and 87.1% from the foul line. The three-point accuracy would easily be a career-best for the nine-year veteran as his previous best came last season (34.3%). Clippers Have A Few Options To Take Jones Jr.’s Place In Starting Lineup With Jones Jr. being out for a minimum of two weeks, he will miss at least the Clippers next five games. Of course, that is just when he will be reevaluated, meaning he could be out even longer. Hamstring strains can linger sometimes. Los Angeles has a few options for who can replace Jones Jr. in the starting lineup for the meantime. Amir Coffey has started seven games this season and is averaging a career-high 10.2 points. They can go the veteran route and start 35-year-old Nicolas Batum . Or they could with the younger guy in second-year player Jordan Miller , who has seen his role expand in recent games. Or maybe Kawhi comes back at some point. Still, the Derrick Jones Jr. injury news is tough for a team that has over-exceeded expectations. The Clippers next play on Friday on the road against the Denver Nuggets . This article first appeared on Last Word On Sports and was syndicated with permission.
