Quinton Lenord Ross (born April 30, 1981 in Dallas, Texas) is an American professional basketball player currently who currently plays small forward for the Los Angeles Clippers of the NBA.
He went undrafted following a college career at Southern Methodist University, and signed with the Clippers on August 16, 2004.
While his contributions as an offensive player are mediocre, Ross is highly acclaimed for his strong perimeter defense. Some fans believe that the Clippers would have faired better during the 2005-2006 season if he had not missed so many games due to recurring back problems (numerous games were lost because of opponents' 3-point scoring).
On May 18, 2006, Ross scored a career high 18 points against the Phoenix Suns in game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals.
