Report: Clippers' Jones out at least 6 weeks with knee sprain

Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. is expected to miss at least six week after spraining the MCL in his right knee during Sunday's loss to the Boston Celtics, sources told ESPN's Sham Charania.

Jones was reaching for a loose ball when he collided with a diving Jaylen Brown. Jones remained on the floor grabbing at his knee until being helped to the locker room.

The loss of Jones is the latest among the Clippers' wing rotation. Kawhi Leonard remains sidelined with ankle and foot sprains. Bradley Beal sustained a season-ending hip fracture earlier in November.

"It's tough," James Harden said Sunday, according to the Associated Press. "It's like one after the next. You just try to continue to keep your head on straight, focus on what you can control, and just go out there and come away with wins. Hopefully guys will start coming back sooner than later."

Jones was averaging a career-high 10.9 points in 13 games prior to his injury.
