The Clippers and free agent guard TyTy Washington Jr. have reached an agreement on a one-year deal, agent Kevin Bradbury tells Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
While Charania doesn’t mention any financial details, the Clippers are right up against a first-apron hard cap and can’t currently sign a free agent to a standard contract. That suggests Washington will be getting a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal, which wouldn’t count against the cap.
Washington, 23, was the 29th overall pick in the 2022 draft, but played a limited role across 31 outings for the Rockets as a rookie and was traded twice during the 2023 offseason – from Houston to Atlanta to Oklahoma City – before being waived by the Thunder. He subsequently spent his second season on a two-way contract with Milwaukee and his third year on a two-way deal with Phoenix.
Washington has made a total of 58 regular season appearances since entering the league, averaging 3.3 points, 1.2 assists, and 1.1 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .347/.234/.542. He has performed much better in the G League, putting up 21.7 points and 7.4 assists per game with a .414 3PT% in 32 games last season for the Valley Suns.
As a three-year veteran entering his fourth NBA season, Washington remains eligible for a two-way contract, so it’s possible he could claim one of the Clippers’ two-way spots (which are occupied for now) with a strong showing in training camp. Otherwise, he may end up as an affiliate player for the San Diego Clippers, L.A.’s G League team.
Clippers move to WASHINGTON !!
Ty Ty has put up good G-league stats. Considering he’s been with three teams that could use a PG. Rockets, Bucks, Suns none which have taken the commitment to develop him. I always like him he is a true PG. Still young enough to make it. Keep pushing it man.
