## LA Clippers, Derrick Jones Jr. to miss multiple weeks due to knee injury **Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. will miss multiple weeks due to a sprained right knee, the team announced Monday.** **Jones underwent an MRI on Monday, which revealed a Grade 2 MCL sprain. The injury is expected to sideline him for 4 to 6 weeks, per Shams Charania.** **The Clippers acquired Jones in a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers in February. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 35 games with Los Angeles.** **His absence will be a blow to the Clippers, who are currently in the thick of the playoff race in the Western Conference. The Clippers are currently in sixth place in the West with a record of 43-32, just 1.5 games behind the fifth-place Denver Nuggets.** **With Jones out, the Clippers will likely turn to Nicolas Batum, Amir Coffey, and Rodney Hood for added minutes on the wing.** **The Clippers are scheduled to play their next game on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns.**
