Boys’ basketball: Jordan McLaughlin is cleared to play on Friday [Updated]
Standout point guard Jordan McLaughlin of Etiwanda will be able to play on Friday despite a torn labrum after receiving doctor’s clearance on Tuesday.
McLaughlin was injured in an Open Division playoff game against Chino Hills on Feb. 28.

Coach Dave Kleckner said he was told on Monday McLaughlin would be lost for the season. But on Tuesday, McLaughlin spoke to the doctor who will do the surgery and received clearance.
