McGruder's late 3 helps Clippers edge Trail Blazers 122-117

Rodney McGruder hit a 3-pointer with 26.5 seconds left, and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Portland Trail Blazers 122-117 even with Kawhi Leonard resting on the bench

Logs 13 minutes McGruder managed four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 13 minutes during Saturday's 126-103 win over the Pelicans.

Impact McGruder was one of six reserves on the team to earn double-digit minutes in the lopsided victory but didn't make a major impact. He also didn't see the floor during Thursday's tilt versus the Lakers, so his spot in the rotation seems tenuous at best.

Officially questionable for opener Beverley (not injury related) is officially questionable for Thursday's opener against the Lakers, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Beverley is quarantining after returning to Orlando on Tuesday, and it remains unclear if he'll get out in time for Thursday's action. If he doesn't, more minutes will be available for Reggie Jackson, Rodney McGruder and Terance Mann considering Lou Williams (not injury related) is out while quarantining.

Scores 10 in 20 minutes Jackson posted 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 20 minutes in Saturday's 105-100 scrimmage win over the Wizards.

Impact Jackson is the expected starter at point guard until Patrick Beverley returns. Rodney McGruder will also see time at the position.
