Clippers' Derrick Jones: Ready for opener vs. Suns
Jones (rest) is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Suns, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Jones missed the club's final preseason game due to rest purposes, though he is expected to be 100 percent for the Clippers' Opening Night. The 27-year-old will likely draw the start with Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out. Jones is coming off a productive season with the Mavericks, and he should play a prominent role with the Clippers.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Leading scorer in preseason win
Jones scored a team-high 16 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT) while adding one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 101-99 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
After scoring just three points combined in the Clippers' first two preseason contests, Jones got his offense rolling Friday. The veteran forward is expected to be a glue player for Los Angeles this season after signing a three-year deal, $30 million contract in free agency, but his fantasy contributions are likely to be modest -- he averaged a career-high 8.6 points and 1.1 threes for the Mavericks in 2023-24.

Mavericks' Derrick Jones: Heading west
Jones is signing a three-year, $30 million deal with the Clippers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Jones will join the Clippers after a successful one-year stop in Dallas. Jones' defense and shot-making ability were key in Dallas' playoff run and made him a sought-after piece ahead of next season. With the Clippers likely parting ways with many key pieces, Jones will likely play a significant role for the team.
