4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. (quad) has been given the green light to get back into action Tuesday versus the Clippers after having missed one outing due to a thigh bruise. Jones has shifted to the second unit over the past three contests, with his return aiding Portland's frontcourt group Tuesday with Jusuf Nurkic (knee) unavailable. Even when starting, Jones' lack of consistent offensive output served as a detriment to his season-long fantasy viability, a trait that has followed him to the bench. Jones played 35 minutes against L.A. earlier this year, but logged just six points and three rebounds in that outing.--Jesse Borek
