Derrick Jones (Clippers) makes limited return to practice after MCL sprain

Derrick Jones (Clippers) was spotted working on the side during Saturday's practice, an encouraging sign after suffering a sprained MCL in his right knee in mid-November against the Celtics. He's expected to have his right knee re-evaluated by medical staff in late December for a clearer return timeline. Prior to his injury, Jones averaged 10.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 threes, 1.2 blocks, and 0.8 steals over 24.9 minutes in 13 games.
