With Brice Johnson being ruled out in October with a back injury and 19-year-old Diamond Stone not being developed to professional level, the LA Clippers‘ rookies from the 2016 NBA Draft haven’t made their mark with the team yet. That’ll likely continue for some time, but the Clippers have helped Stone along with his developmental process by assigning him to the NBA D-League.
Most recently, this involves his assignment to the Salt Lake City Stars, as the team announced on December 27th.
In his first spell in the D-League, Stone appeared in four games and started twice for the Santa Cruz Warriors.
