Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland will get the chance to test out free agency after this season. According to NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Hyland and the Clippers were not able to reach terms on a rookie contract extension, so he'll become an unrestricted free agent at year's end. The 24-year-old took a step back last season in terms of playing time after appearing in the fewest games in his first three seasons. In 37 appearances, Hyland averaged 6.9 points, 2.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.2 turnovers across 14.6 minutes per contest.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland missed Tuesday's preseason clash against Brooklyn with left hip soreness. Hyland could really use a good preseason to boost his stock in Los Angeles, and the hip problem is definitely a setback for him. The 24-year-old did well in the Clippers' preseason opener against Golden State at the weekend, tallying seven points and four rebounds in 13 minutes. Hyland's next chance to play comes on Friday against Portland.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas. He's had trouble with his right knee and could be unavailable for a third straight game. However, Hyland has played in only one of the last eight games, logging nine minutes in a cameo against Sacramento, so his absence doesn't affect the Clippers in any way.
Bones Hyland Continues To Be Bothered By Knee Soreness
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (knee) is questionable for Monday's contest against Indiana. He's on the injury report with right knee soreness and could remain on the sidelines after already missing time with the ailment. With that said, Hyland hasn't been part of the Clippers' plans anymore since the James Harden trade. He's earned only a few minutes of playing time, hitting the court just five times across the last 17 games. Hyland couldn't find his way in Denver, and it looks like he'll need to move on from L.A. as well to establish himself as an NBA player.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (shoulder) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Hyland sat out of their last game due to a right shoulder strain. Luckily, it appears to be a minor issue and he'll be available for this game. However, Hyland hasn't been a big part of the rotation lately. Since November 10th, Hyland has appeared in four games and played 13 minutes. He won't be on the fantasy radar going forward.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It appears the Clippers are going to hold out Hyland while he recovers from a right shoulder strain. His absence won't be a big loss for Los Angeles considering Hyland hasn't been a huge part of the rotation. The Clippers don't really need him right now with James Harden and Russell Westbrook both healthy. That being said, Hyland isn't worth holding in most fantasy formats right now.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland will make his move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Normally, Hyland is the primary backup point guard to Russell Westbrook. However, he will shift into the starting five with the Clippers shorthanded on Tuesday. The team traded Robert Covington, Nicolas Batum, and Marcus Morris Sr. to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for James Harden. Now, Hyland will start in place of Covington in the rotation. The expectation is that Hyland will continue to have an increased role until Harden is ready to play or Terance Mann (ankle) is back.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland had his fourth-year option exercised by the team on Monday. This doesn't come as a shock as the Clippers have high hopes for the 23-year-old guard. They acquired him at the trade deadline last season. He has been a solid source for scoring during his limited time with the team. Right now, Hyland is the primary backup guard to Russell Westbrook. He's averaging 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per game this season.
Bones Hyland Receives Another Questionable Tag On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is listed as questionable for the team's game against the Utah Jazz on Friday. Hyland also was tagged as questionable before their season-opener on Wednesday and he ended up playing. The ankle sprain seems to be a nagging injury, but not severe enough to force him to miss a game just yet. While Terance Mann (ankle) remains sidelined, Hyland will serve as the primary backup to Russell Westbrook. He was able to collect 17 points and three assists in 22 minutes during their previous contest, so he would be a good streaming option for fantasy managers who may be waiting for Mann to return.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hyland is back after spraining his ankle during the preseason finale. He'll serve as the primary backup to Russell Westbrook at point guard during the season opener. He should be able to get fairly decent playing time off the bench. Hyland should be able to hold deep league value as the primary backup point guard.
