Warriors’ Damian Jones makes NBA debut
MEMPHIS — Two days after getting called up from the D-League, Damian Jones made his NBA debut Saturday night in mop-up duty.
He entered the game with the Warriors trailing the Grizzlies by 22 at the start of the fourth quarter. In nine minutes of play, Jones’ only stats were two turnovers and two fouls.
“He’s definitely going to get better,” Kevin Durant said. “These circumstances tonight were different, being down so many points and Coach throwing him in there. I’m glad to see him fulfill a lifelong dream of being an NBA player.”
