THE Clippers said they wanted to put back Kai Jones in the right path and they prove it, because ESPN declares that they are offering the 19th pick of the 2021 Draft a “two-way contract” for the regular season.
Plagued by mental health issues in the past, which cost him his place with the Hornets a year ago, the 23-year-old center appears to have found a new home in Los Angeleswhere Tyronn Lue has a positive effect on him. We remember that, last season, he had already been revived by the Californian franchise before the playoffs, after briefly passing through Philadelphia.
In preseason, Kai Jones was this time able to show his comfort with the Clippers, posting 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.4 interceptions on average (at 65% skill) behind Ivica Zubac. In addition to the Croatian, Mo Bamba makes up the interior rotation of this team which will have to do without Kawhi Leonard to start the season.
