Impact Preston missed the end of Summer League while in COVID-19 protocols, but a different issue is plaguing him early in the preseason. Assuming Lue's comments about the issue being minor hold true, Preston could see some action later in the preseason. His next chance surfaces Sunday versus Minnesota.

Lands in COVID-19 protocols Preston has been ruled out for Friday's Summer League contest against the Jazz due to health and safety protocols, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Preston played 27 minutes during Wednesday's 80-75 loss to the Nuggets and finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-3 FT), six assists, four rebounds and three steals. The 2021 second-round pick's next chance to suit up will be during Summer League tournament play, which begins Saturday.

Clippers' Jason Preston gets chance at Summer League to display improved game Clippers guard Jason Preston missed last season because of a foot injury. He's ready to take the court with something to prove.

Included on Summer League roster Preston (foot) is listed on the Clippers' Summer League roster, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Preston's 2021-22 rookie campaign ended before it began due to a foot injury that required surgery in early October. The 22-year-old was nearing clearance for contact in early April, and his inclusion on the Summer League roster presumably indicates he's healthy enough to contribute. Preston will aim to make an impression during the summer that will carry him into what will now be his rookie season in 2022-23.

Could get cleared for contact soon Preston (foot) said last weekend that he expects to be cleared for full-contact work in practice in "the next couple of weeks," Andrew Grief of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick is now six months removed from fracturing his foot and requiring surgery. The procedure will end up preventing Preston from playing at any point in the regular season, and while it's possible he's removed from the injury report if LA makes a deep playoff run, the 22-year-old likely wouldn't be called upon to play meaningful minutes, given his lengthy layoff. Preston should at least be fully cleared in advance of the Las Vegas Summer League, where he'll look to pick up some extended run to make up for his lost development time.

Remains out, return date TBD Preston (foot) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact The Clippers haven't provided any clear updates regarding where Preston stands in his recovery from the broken right foot he sustained during training camp, though Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reported over the weekend that the rookie second-round pick has been getting some shots up at practice. Still, Preston will need to eventually mix into team drills and regain conditioning before he's deemed ready to play. With one month left in the regular season, Preston may face an uphill battle to gain clearance for game action, though the Clippers seemingly haven't shut him down yet.
