Overview
- Jones was hurt in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Celtics at the Intuit Dome after a midcourt collision with Payton Pritchard.
- He left after logging 19 points on 8-of-9 shooting with four rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes.
- The injury comes shortly after he missed 17 games for a prior right MCL sprain initially suffered on Nov. 16 against Boston.
- Jones said an MRI was scheduled to determine next steps, with the team planning to re-evaluate him in six weeks.
- His absence trims the Clippers’ wing depth, and analysts expect increased minutes for Kawhi Leonard, Kobe Sanders, John Collins and Nicolas Batum.
