Boston Celtics forward Perry Jones will miss a preseason game Thursday in Spain after a death in his family, according to the Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach.

Himmelsbach reported that Jones will be returning to the United States while his teammates finish a two-game trip to Europe. The Celtics opened their preseason Tuesday with a 124-91 victory against the Italian team Olimpia Milano.

Jones scored two points over seven minutes, all in the fourth quarter. The 23-year-old, who could be fighting for a roster spot, missed a pair of practices last week due to a sore right knee.

MY NOTE:  Yet another break for James Young. How many lives does he have left? Anybody counting?

bob,

It will not matter how many "breaks" Young gets. If he somehow survives the roster cutdown that has to come later this month, he should still rent an apartment in Portland, ME.

I will still take Jones over Young for even the 15th spot on the roster, but it is too bad that he has now missed a couple of days with an injury and now some more time with a death in his family.

Young just turned 20, and maybe there is some quantum leap in his future, but I don't see it. He should've stayed in school.
