Ball Played: Help, Kluber needed anybody as Indians lose
April 13, 2016Tribe by Numbers: The All-Time Best Cleveland Indians to Wear Jersey Nos. 16-20
April 13, 2016With some injuries in the Cleveland Cavaliers backcourt and an open roster spot there for the having, David Griffin and company have signed veteran guard Dahntay Jones, a three-and-D wing player who will serve to provide more depth for the team’s postseason run.
Jones (6-6, 225) appeared in 43 games (39 starts) for the Grand Rapids Drive of the NBA Development League this season, averaging 15.7 points on .546 shooting from the field, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 35.7 minutes. While the volume numbers will not be important given his role on the Cavs, it’s worth noting that Jones shot .546 from the field, .413 from the three-point line and .851 from the charity stripe with Grand Rapids, proving to be efficient at 35 years of age.
Originally selected as the 20th overall pick out of Duke University by the Boston Celtics in the 2003 NBA Draft, Jones has played in 622 games (157 starts) over his 11-year NBA career. He holds career averages of 5.4 points and 1.7 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game with Memphis, Sacramento, Denver, Indiana, Dallas, Atlanta and the Los Angeles Clippers. The 6-6 guard has also has some playoff experience, appearing in 49 NBA playoff games (16 starts) with averages of 4.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in 11.1 minutes.
Guards Iman Shumpert and Mo Williams have been nursing respective injuries with the latter seeking additional opinions with Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama. Shumpert had his knee drained on Sunday, but it is believed that he will be ready for the start of the NBA Playoffs.

Is like like analytics?
Cavs in 6.
Hopefully it measures up
Hope he is the deadeye shooter and good D guy we need for the playoffs. Just 10-12 minutes a game would be a great addition.
He and LBJ had some battles back in the day. Jones was pretty physical, very persistent if memory serves. Interesting signing.
Not a shooter but in your face defender if memory serves.
Thanks…….offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships! Let it be true.
If you remember, Dahntay is not a big fan of Draymond Green. They had a little run in a year ago when Dahntay was on the Clippers.
I like it. If Cavs end up meeting GS in the Finals, bring Dahntay off the bench and allow him to get in Draymond’s head.
Like Windy said yesterday, Draymond has come close to melting down a couple times over the last couple weeks. Tick Tick Tick…
Is this insurance for Mo Williams?
