Damian Jones cleared for contact, could return this year

Golden State Warriors center Damian Jones could return before the playoffs are over. Coach Steve Kerr said at Sunday’s practice that the third-year big man has been cleared for contact, and will take part in three-on-three drills this coming week.

If he progresses well, the Vanderbilt product could make it back to the court during the NBA Finals, should the Warriors make it that far.

Steve Kerr said Damian Jones will be cleared for contact next week. Possible he could return later in playoffs.

Jones returning would be a great accomplishment for the young center.
