The Los Angeles Lakers announced the signing of Damian Jones to a 10-day contract ahead of Friday’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jones was waived by the Phoenix Suns earlier this week.
He appeared in 14 games for Phoenix, averaging 1.6 points and 1.3 rebounds per game. The 25-year-old has additionally spent time with the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks in his young career. Jones was selected by the Warriors with the 30th pick in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft.
Although he played sparingly for the Suns, Jones was more productive with the Hakes last season.
