Mavericks' Derrick Jones: Available to face Clippers

Jones (shoulder) is not on the official injury report and will be available for Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday.

Jones didn't play in the Mavericks' final game of the regular season because the training staff wanted him to rest a lingering shoulder issue. He shouldn't have any limitations against the Clippers on Sunday. He started his final 19 regular-season appearances and averaged 7.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 21.8 minutes per game during that stretch.
