Former first-round pick was out of the league, but has done the work to earn another shot with the Clippers.
Clippers forward Kai Jones dunks during the second half of their preseason opener against the Golden State Warriors earlier this month in Honolulu. OCEANSIDE – Kai Jones answers each question with unfailing politeness, leaning forward so each word can be heard from 7 feet above.
One month after signing with the Hornets, the team announced that Jones would not be in training camp after the player displayed unusual behavior on social media. He criticized his teammates, posted messages in incoherent speech and declared he was the greatest basketball player of all time. He eventually requested a trade on X and on Oct. 9, 2023, the Hornets obliged by waiving him, making him a free agent that no one wanted.
“In that isolation, you’re just dealing with the voices in your head, and you have to learn how to navigate those voices and calm yourself.” “T told me when I got here, that everything that I did in the past forgive myself, you know, just learn from it, grow from it and just be better,” Jones said.
