Derrick Jones Jr. Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday
4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's contest versus Philadelphia due to a sprained left foot. Jones has missed the team's three previous outings due to the injury, which has allowed Nassir Little (knee) and Rodney Hood to enter the starting five, with the latter likely losing much of his fantasy shine should Jones ultimately return. After failing to score in double figures across his first 12 contests of the season, Jones has reached that threshold three times in his last five games. Check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on his status as another absence puts Hood in play as a DFS punt play.
