Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Boston was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. The Clippers have decided to hold him out, but it doesn't sound like a long term issue. Regardless, Boston hasn't been part of the rotation when healthy. He probably won't see regular playing time in Los Angeles, so fantasy managers can continue to ignore him.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (quad) is headed to the G-League for a rehab stint. Boston was cleared for 5-on-5 work earlier this week. That being said, it appears he's ready for his first game action of the year. Boston has been unable to play this season due to tendinitis in his left quadriceps. He's averaging 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across 13.8 minutes per game during his first two seasons with the Clippers. That being said, Boston is unlikely to be a significant contributor once he's healthy. He might be able to crack the rotation, but probably won't be worth a look in any fantasy formats.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The young guard continues to miss time due to a quad injury. The organization has not given a clear timetable on his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't consider him close to playing. Boston is unlikely to have a significant role in the rotation right now anyway. The Clippers have Terance Mann (ankle), Russell Westbrook, and Bones Hyland, so there isn't many minutes left for Boston right now. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him going forward.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (knee) was able to participate in some drills during Thursday's practice. It was originally reported that Boston won't practice, but head coach Ty Lue said that Boston will take part in some drills. This is good news as Boston continues to work his way back from a knee injury. At the moment, it's unclear if he'll be ready for Tuesday's preseason contest against the Denver Nuggets. The expectation is that Boston will once again be a depth option for the Clippers. He averaged 6.5 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 11.3 minutes over 22 games with the Clippers last season.
Brandon Boston Jr. Drops 15 Points On Clunky Shooting Night
LA Clippers shooting guard Brandon Boston Jr. tied for the team lead with 15 points during Tuesday's Summer League defeat to the Lakers. While the 20-year-old wing showcased his athleticism and offensive aggressiveness, he shot just 3-for-12 overall, having his performance boosted by a 9-for-12 effort from the free-throw stripe, along with the nine rebounds he compiled over 29 minutes. Boston remains an intriguing piece for LA after he was acquired as a second-round Draft selection in 2021; the 6-foot-7 wing was the fourth-highest ranked recruit in the country as recently as '20. After appearing in 51 games off the bench last season for the Clippers -- averaging 6.7 PPG -- Boston's role to open '22-23 is even murkier.
Brandon Boston Jr. Joins COVID-19 Protocols, Out Wednesday
LA Clippers shooting guard/small forward Brandon Boston Jr. has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's contest against the Celtics. Boston has enjoyed a sizable minutes increase during December, using that time on the floor to average 8.8 points per contest. With Paul George (elbow) sidelined, Boston held short-term season-long appeal in deeper formats, but his absence will allow head coach Ty Lue to spread those minutes out across multiple wing options, including Luke Kennard, Terance Mann, and Xavier Moon.
