The Los Angeles Lakers brought in athletic big man Damian Jones on a 10-day contract after the waiving of Quinn Cook. That deal expired during the NBA All-Star break, but Jones was able to play in three games with L.A. beforehand.
In those three games — including one in the starting lineup — Jones had some impressive moments and caught the attention of several Lakers teammates. In total, he’s scored 12 points, grabbed five rebounds and four blocks. In addition, he has yet to miss a shot for the Lakers from the field or the free-throw line.
