Diamond Stone: Inactive for third straight game

Paul Pierce has been available for the Clippers’ last three games after missing the start of the season with a sprained ankle, so Stone hasn’t dressed in any of those contests while serving as one of the team’s two gameday inactives. Barring a rash of injuries, it’s unlikely that Stone will be a rotation player for the Clippers as a rookie, so don’t be surprised if the organization sends him to the D-League at some point to pick up minutes.
