8:00 pm: The deal is official, per NBA.com’s transaction log.
3:50 pm: The Clippers and second-round pick Kobe Sanders have agreed to a two-way contract, agent Shaun Hickombottom tells Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Law Murray of The Athletic confirms the news (via Twitter).
The Clippers traded up one spot in last month’s two-day draft to acquire Sanders’ rights. He was selected 50th overall.
After spending four years at Cal Poly, the 23-year-old guard/forward transferred to Nevada for his fifth and final college season. In 33 games for the Wolf Pack in 2024/25, Sanders averaged 15.8 points, 4.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.7 minutes per contest, posting a shooting slash line of .460/.342/.795.
As our tracker shows, the Clippers will have all three of their two-way slots filled once Sanders’ deal is official, with Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Trentyn Flowers holding the other two spots.
Sanders will earn $636,435 in 2025/26, half of the rookie minimum, and is eligible to be active for up to 50 regular season games.
