  • Clippers' Kai Jones: Full-go in practice

    Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Jones (ankle) is good to go for practice, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Jones appears to have fully recovered from the ankle injury that kept him out of Summer League. The 23-year-old big man will now have the opportunity to compete for a regular-season roster spot during training camp.

  • Clippers' Kai Jones: Lands non-guaranteed deal

    Jones (ankle) agreed to a non-guaranteed deal with the Clippers on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    The Clippers declined Jones' team option in late June, but he'll rejoin the team and compete for a roster spot ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. The 23-year-old won't participate in Summer League play due to an ankle injury, and it's unclear whether he'll have limitations when training camp rolls around.

  • Kai Jones: Battling ankle injury

    Jones won't participate in Summer League due to an ankle injury, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Jones became an unrestricted free agent when the Clippers declined to pick up his team option June 29, and he'll miss out on the opportunity to showcase his abilities in Summer League. Instead, the 23-year-old will have to rely on what he put on tape during two games with the 76ers' G League affiliate to garner interest on the open market. In those two games, Jones averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 blocks over 23.9 minutes.

  • Clippers' Kai Jones: Out for regular-season finale

    Jones (conditioning) won't play in Sunday's game versus Houston, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

    Jones is eligible to play in postseason games for the Clippers, but since he didn't sign a contract with the team until Saturday, he won't be asked to play in the regular-season finale. The Clippers are unlikely to open a rotation spot for Jones in the postseason, but he's under contract beyond the 2024-25 season and is viewed as developmental depth at center.

  • Clippers' Kai Jones: Gets opportunity with Clippers

    Jones agreed to a multi-year contract with the Clippers on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Joshua Primo (ankle) will be released in order to make room for Jones on the Clippers' 15-man roster. Jones was the 19th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft but hasn't made an NBA appearance this season, despite playing under a 10-day contract with the 76ers in March. He averaged 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 12.0 minutes across 46 appearances for Charlotte in 2022-23.

  • Kai Jones: Hits open market

    Jones (hamstring) became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the 76ers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    The 76ers have the option of retaining Jones on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the organization has any desire to do so while he's still recovering from a right hamstring strain. The injury prevented him from playing with the 76ers at any point during his initial 10-day deal, but he likely wouldn't have been featured in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation even if he had been healthy.

  • 76ers' Kai Jones: Dealing with hamstring strain

    Jones has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat due to a right hamstring strain.

    Jones signed a 10-day deal with the 76ers on Friday but was sent to the G League to start his Philly tenure.

Jones' next chance to make his 76ers debut comes Wednesday in Phoenix, but the severity of the injury remains unclear.

  • 76ers' Kai Jones: Promoted to Philadelphia

    Philadelphia recalled Jones from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday.

    Jones gets a fast-track call-up to Philadelphia after posting 21 points on 64.3 percent shooting across two G League appearances. The lottery pick from the 2021 Draft is unlikely to settle into a relevant role, but he brings a level of bounciness and rim-running that Mo Bamba and Paul Reed cannot replicate.

  • 76ers' Kai Jones: Headed to G League

    The Sixers officially signed Jones to a 10-day contract Friday and subsequently assigned him to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

  • 76ers' Kai Jones: Gets 10-day deal from Philly

    Jones is set to sign a 10-day contract with the 76ers on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Jones will bring some depth to the center position in Philadelphia, but as long as Mo Bamba and Paul Reed are healthy, he could struggle to crack head coach Nick Nurse's rotation. Since being cut by the Hornets in October, Jones hasn't played in a professional league, though he most recently suited up for the Bahamian national team for two games in the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup qualifiers. The 2021 first-round draft pick averaged 2.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 9.1 minutes per game over 67 appearances for Charlotte across his first two NBA seasons.

  • Kai Jones: Working out with Philadelphia

    The 76ers are planning to workout and meet with Jones, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
