Bones Hyland is a 6 ‘3’’ professional basketballer who currently plays as a point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA. During his rookie year, the young guard demonstrated consistent performances which made him an NBA All-Rookie Second Team honoree. He averaged 10.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game recording 40.3% accuracy from the field.

Hyland is currently in the third year of the four-year rookie contract worth $10.7 million which he signed in 2021. By virtue of this, he is set to make a salary of $2.3 million for the ongoing NBA season (2023-24).

Last season, Hyland played an instrumental role for the Nuggets coming off the bench averaging a career-high 12.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game on shooting 37.8% from the three-point line.

Hyland was the 26th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and emerged as a promising star for the Nuggets as a potential replacement for Guard Jamal Murray in the near future. However, the Nuggets GM Calvin Booth traded him to the LA Clippers in his second year, in exchange for Thomas Bryant and some second-round picks.

Hyland is expected to get more opportunities on the court for the Clippers, allowing him to showcase and hone his talents with the increased minutes he now has at his disposal. He is the kind of player who can consistently uplift the score and have the potential to grow something more.
