On July 5, Beijing time, according to a report by Shams, the Clippers signed a non-guaranteed contract with "problem player" Kay Jones to return him to the team. The Clippers signed Kai Jones on April 15 of this year, but he never got any chance to play.
As the No. 19 pick in the first round of the 2021 NBA draft, the 23-year-old Kay Jones has played three seasons in the NBA, played two seasons with the Hornets, and joined the 76ers and Clippers last season, but did not get any appearances.
Kay Jones has played in 67 games in his NBA career so far, never been able to start, averaging only 2.7 points and 2 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game.
However, as a problem player, Kai Jones has attracted attention because of his repeated nonsense on social media, and Kai Jones has repeatedly called himself "GOAT" on social media, and also said that he can easily beat stars such as Jordan, James and Curry, causing crazy ridicule from public opinion.
Kay Jones signed with the Clippers on April 15, but he was not able to get any appearances, and the Clippers previously refused to exercise his $2.19 million team option.
Kay Jones suffered a hamstring injury in a Development League game in March, after which he was injured again. However, Clippers reporter Law Murray said that the Clippers still plan to keep him, so he is now signed to a non-guaranteed contract, and it is unknown whether he can prove his return to the NBA.
