BRANDON BOSTON JR. NEWS

Sniffs double-double in loss Boston recorded 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and a steal across 36 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Boston had a rough shooting performance Saturday and needed 12 shots to score 12 points. Even though Boston finished just two boards away from a double-double, the shooting woes continue to plague him. He's now failed to reach the 15-point mark in three of his last four appearances while shooting 17-for-48 from the field in that stretch.

Bounces back Friday Boston chipped in 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 101-94 victory over Denver.

Impact Boston was coming off two consecutive single-digit scoring performances where he struggled with his shot, but he bounced back admirably in this one. The Pelicans need Boston to perform at a high level amid their injury woes, and he's been up to the challenge even when factoring in those two subpar efforts in the losses to Brooklyn and Oklahoma City. Through six starts, Boston is averaging 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 45.6 percent from the field.

Struggles with shot Wednesday Boston provided eight points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Boston scored in double digits in five games in a row amid a stretch in which he got promoted to the starting lineup due to the rash of injuries the Pelicans are going through. However, he's struggled massively with his shot over his last two contests, scoring a combined 15 points while going 6-for-23 from the field in that span. He's done enough to remain valuable in fantasy due to his contributions in other categories, however, as he's tallied 17 boards, 14 assists and five steals in that two-game stretch as well. That said, he needs to improve his scoring figures because he'll remain with a prominent role in the Pelicans' offensive scheme as long as they stay as depleted as they are right now.

Packs stat sheet Boston logged seven points (3-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Boston took a step back in terms of scoring after posting a 26-point night Friday against Orlando. However, he set new top marks on the season in rebounds, assists and steals to make up for a sluggish shooting performance. It's clear Boston will continue to handle a prominent role in the offense until his squad can get healthy.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 26 points Boston registered 26 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 115-88 loss to the Magic.

Impact Boston is the next man up in a depleted Pelicans backcourt, but he's putting up decent numbers since being handed a more prominent role. He's scored at least 20 points in two of his three starts and is averaging 17.6 points per game in games in which he's logged at least 20 minutes, a trend that should continue for the foreseeable future.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in second start Boston notched 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact While he couldn't match the 20 points he delivered Monday against the Trail Blazers, Boston was productive again in his second straight start and just the third of his NBA career. The former Clipper has stepped into a bigger role with both CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) on the shelf, averaging 15.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes over the last four contests, and Boston seems to have leapfrogged 2023 first-round pick Jordan Hawkins on the depth chart at shooting guard for the time being.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in first start of season Boston finished with 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to Portland.

Impact Boston got the start Monday for a depleted Pelicans team, and he responded by posting his best game of the campaign. Don't be surprised if Boston, who has now scored in double digits in three straight outings, remains in the starting lineup given how depleted the Pelicans are at the moment.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Gets start Monday Boston will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact With Jordan Hawkins (back) joining CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) on the sideline, Boston will receive his second career start Monday. The 22-year-old has found some opportunity in a depleted backcourt, and he has averaged 7.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 16.5 minutes per game in four regular-season appearances.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Intriguing performance Friday Boston posted 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 125-118 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Boston came from nowhere to score a season-high 14 points, taking advantage of the fact the Pelicans are without a number of key components. Having struggled to carve out a consistent role throughout his career, Boston may be about to embark on a crucial multi-game stretch. The Pelicans roster is likely to remain as is for at least the next week, opening up some minutes for the likes of Boston. He is someone who should be monitored just in case the talent finally shows through.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Inks two-way deal Boston signed a two-way contract with the Pelicans on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Boston has made 105 NBA regular-season appearances over the last three seasons -- all with the Clippers. However, he'll likely spend most of his time in the G League this season, barring injuries to Dejounte Murray (personal), CJ McCollum, Jose Alvarado and/or Trey Murphy.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by San Antonio The Spurs waived Boston on Saturday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Boston was unable to make the regular-season roster with San Antonio despite spending the preseason and training camp with the team. Boston will now likely join the Austin Spurs of the G League.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Joins San Antonio for camp Boston signed with the Spurs on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Boston became an unrestricted free agent after the Clippers didn't tender him a $2.48 million qualifying offer at the end of June. After appearing in 51 regular-season games as a rookie in 2021, Boston saw a reduced role in his subsequent two campaigns with the Clippers. Entering his age-23 season, Boston is still a young prospect with room to grow, but he'll have an uphill battle to make the Spurs' initial regular-season roster.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to enter free agency The Clippers are not expected to tender a qualifying offer for Boston, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Boston was selected with pick No. 51 in the 2021 draft, and he averaged career-highs in every major statistical category his rookie season. However, the past two years the 22-year-old was much less of a factor for the team, and he averaged 5.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.3 steals across 10.8 minutes in 32 regular-season games. Boston is still young, and he will likely garner interest as a player who has potential moving forward.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance Friday Boston finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in three minutes during Friday's 101-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Confere...

Impact Boston played three minutes in garbage time, something the Clippers will be hoping doesn't repeat itself. Although the scoreline was relatively close, the Mavericks took control early in this one, now holding a 2-1 series lead over a Clippers team in need of a spark.

APRIL 27 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 15 points Boston chipped in 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and four steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Boston didn't have the most efficient night, but he filled the stat sheet and recorded a career-high four steals. Boston saw extended minutes Sunday with most of the key players for Los Angeles resting, but he could potentially have a role in the playoffs if Kawhi Leonard (knee) can't shake his knee issue.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies season high off bench Boston amassed 23 points (10-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 124-108 loss to the Suns.

Impact Boston led all bench players in Wednesday's contest in scoring and rebounds while adding a pair of steals and setting a new season high in scoring in a losing effort. Boston posted his first game of the year with 20 or more points while notching his third outing with a double-digit point total. He also recorded a new season high in rebounds, ending with five or more boards for the second time.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Sees rare minutes Boston recorded five points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 18 minutes during Sunday's 124-117 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, both of which were considered maintenance days on the second leg of the back-to-back set. Boston rarely sees the floor when the Clippers are at full strength, as he's averaged 7.4 minutes across 20 total appearances.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up slack sans George Boston recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 27 minutes in Wednesday's 125-109 win over the Wizards.

Impact Boston had been on the fringes of the head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation heading into Wednesday, but the third-year player ended up taking on an increased role after Paul George (groin) was ruled out for the contest. He acquitted himself well during his time on the court, contributing in every major statistical category while pacing the Clippers bench in minutes. Boston will likely see a steep drop in playing time if George is back in action for Friday's game in Detroit, but Boston may have performed well enough Wednesday to at least maintain a small role off the bench moving forward.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Cracks rotation Saturday Boston logged three points (1-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 10 minutes during Saturday's 115-96 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Boston saw more than 10 minutes for just the third time this season, as the Clippers easily accounted for the Celtics. It's been another underwhelming season for Boston, serving as nothing more than a depth piece, used sparingly at best. Outside of dynasty formats, he holds no fantasy value.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to Los Angeles Los Angeles recalled Boston from the G League's Ontario Clippers on Saturday.

Impact Fresh off a 34-point explosion in Friday's G League lost to Santa Cruz, Boston will rejoin the Clippers main roster in advance of Sunday's game against Brooklyn. Boston is unlikely to exceed a 5-to-10 minute rotation role.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Available to face Golden State Boston (illness) is available to play against the Warriors on Thursday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Boston was in danger of missing a second straight game, but head coach Tyronn Lue said he would be available in the end. Either way, he's not expected to play a significant role off the bench for the Clippers.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Golden State Boston (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Clippers.

Impact Boston is in danger of missing his second straight game Thursday due to a non-COVID illness. However, his potential absence won't affect the Clippers' rotation.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch against Sacramento Boston has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Kings due to an illness.

Impact Boston was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Golden State.
