First Cut in Clippers’ Rotation: Bones Hyland Dropped
In a crucial move following the James Harden trade, Ty Lue, the LA Clippers’ coach, has made the first rotation cut—removing Bones Hyland from the mix.
Resizing the Team: Hyland Out
Despite Hyland’s strong recent performance, Coach Lue’s decision highlights his desire to avoid too small a second unit for the team.
Hyland’s Performance & Clippers Run
- Hyland has been averaging 11.8 points per game this season, with a career-best 43.8% shooting from the field.
- This is his first full season with the Clippers, following his acquisition from the Denver Nuggets during last season’s trade deadline.
Despite his removal from the rotation, Hyland’s strong record suggests he will still be a significant asset to the team behind the lines.
