Jones was brought on to the Clippers during the middle of the season after his strong play in the D-League. Doc Rivers praised Jones’ leadership and chemistry as he was a positive influence in the locker room.

On February 4th we wrote the following about Dainty Jones:

“Markazi also reports the following based on his interview with Doc Rivers:

“He’s good every day,” Rivers said. “He’s a pro. You can’t have enough pros and so he’s been really good. He’s been through playoffs. Guys like that, Sam [Cassell] was telling a story when we signed him at the end of the year that I told him he was going to win one game for us and I said I ‘don’t know when,’ but he was talking about the [2008 first-round] playoff game in Atlanta where he got hot and won the game for us and then he went in the locker room and said, ‘I’m done. I’ve done my job.’ That’s what a guy like Dahntay [can do]. It could be one stop, it could be one thing, so you just don’t know.”

Jones was called up from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants at the beginning of January. In the D-league he was averaging almost 15 points and 3 rebounds a game.”

The Clippers have been focused on working to re-sign free agent big man DeAndre Jordan that Jones is the least of their concerns at this moment in time.

The Clippers were able to sign 10 time All-star and future Hall of Famer Paul Pierce to the team yesterday afternoon.

As more information surfaces about the availability of Jones we will keep you updated.
