Jones, the 19th overall pick in the 2021 draft, was recently waived by the Clippers to free up a standard contract slot for Jordan Miller. Per Haynes, the plan is for Jones to sign a two-way deal with the Mavericks after he clears waivers. This transaction won't impact fantasy basketball, but there may be minutes available to Jones with Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II out with injuries.
The 6-foot-5 guard has been playing well in the G League, averaging 24.5 points and 5.2 rebounds in six games.
The LA Clippers and two-way guard Jordan Miller have agreed to a four-year, $8.3 million contract, with the team waiving forward MarJon Beauchamp to create roster space, sources told ESPN.
Miller, a second round pick by the Clippers in the 2023 NBA Draft, has starred for Los Angeles' G League team this year. Previously signed to a two-way contract, Miller is now on a standard deal that will pay him $1 million for the rest of the season. The Clippers are waiving MarJon Beauchamp to make room for Miller on the active roster.
A former first-round pick by the Bucks in 2022, Beauchamp was acquired by the Clippers in a trade for Kevin Porter Jr. prior to the deadline. Now Los Angeles is waiving the 24-year-old small forward in a housekeeping move to open a roster spot for Jordan Miller, who was given a standard contract.
