As a member of the Clippers training camp roster, Jordan Ford seemed like a shoo-in to play heavy minutes immediately in the G League bubble. Other than Ford, the team doesn’t have a pure point guard, but the Clippers still minimized his role early in favor of Agua Caliente vets.
But as the season has gone on, the team has found fewer reasons to keep Ford off the court. Part of that has to do with Amir Coffey getting called back up to the NBA team and Tyrone Wallace suffering a toe injury, but Ford has been indispensable to the team’s success.
