Limited output in return
Jones (knee) tallied three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds across 18 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Clippers' 112-99 win over the Pistons.
Analisi
After starting in each of his first 13 appearances of the season before being shut down in mid-November due to an MCL sprain of his right knee, Jones was eased back into the rotation as a reserve in his return to action Sunday. The 28-year-old offered little production in his limited run, and though Jones' playing time should climb a bit in his future appearances, he could struggle to see a consistent 25-to-30-minute role when both Kawhi Leonard and John Collins (illness) are available.

Coming off bench Sunday
Jones will come off the bench and be on a minutes restriction Sunday against the Pistons, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Analisi
Jones has been sidelined since Nov. 16 due to an MCL sprain, but he will make his return to the lineup in a reserve role Sunday. Not surprisingly, Jones will face a minutes restriction in his return.

Returning to action Sunday
Jones (knee) is off the injury report and will be available for Sunday's game against Detroit, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analisi
Jones has been out of action since Nov. 16 due to a sprained MCL, so if he plays Sunday, he'll likely be operating with heavy restrictions. His return could result in fewer minutes for rookie Kobe Sanders, who has been a mainstay in the rotation over the last five-plus weeks. Before missing time due to the injury, Jones averaged 10.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks across 24.9 minutes per game over 13 appearances.
