The Clippers have cut three training camp invitees, announcing today that they’ve requested waivers on guard Ky Bowman, forward Malik Fitts, and guard Jordan Ford.
Bowman spent last season with the Warriors after going undrafted out of Boston College, averaging 7.4 points, 2.9 assists and 22.6 minutes in 45 games, including 12 starts. Bowman had his two-way contract converted into a multiyear standard deal in February, but only the 2019/20 salary was guaranteed. Golden State waived him last month.
Fitts is an undrafted rookie out of St. Mary’s. In 68 total games with the Gaels, Fitts averaged 15.9 PPG and 7.3 RPG.
Ford is also an undrafted rookie out of the same college. A two-time member of the All-WCC team, he was the second-leading scorer in the West Coast Conference in 2019/20, averaging 21.9 PPG.
Los Angeles now has 17 players under contract, including 14 on guaranteed deals and a pair on two-way pacts. Rayjon Tucker, the Clippers’ other player without a fully guaranteed salary, remains under contract for now, but could also be waived soon if the team doesn’t intend to open the regular season with a full roster.
Any of the waived players could eventually resurface with the Clippers’ G League team, Agua Caliente.
Golden State only has 14 players on guaranteed (or partly guaranteed) contracts plus an open two-way contract spot as well. There’s room for Ky to return.
I respectfully disagree…sorry. clay is done.
What’s c(K)lay done with?
He was hot/cold last year. Inconsistent. I dont feel that he’d beat what they already have out for a spot.
The thought did occur to me though when I saw the story.
He’s not a fit. He doesn’t fulfill a need. A veteran center will probably get the next slot.
Bowman is a nice player, he just doesn’t fit in with the clippers with all the guards they have. He could be nice somewhere else tho as a backup
Just read an article about a guy close to kawhi who is suing clippers and Jerry West because they asked him for help to recruit kawhi and he said he’d do it for 2.5 million.. it also states Clippers gave uncle Dennis a house and spending account.. if that comes out true, kawhi should be suspended and nba drop hammer on clippers.. Jeanie buss stated uncle Dennis was asking for illegal things from lakers as well. Kawhi is a straight scumbag
If true, he will get paid off by the billionaire. I can believe Ballmer did that and more. Tha’s why the NBA investigates him almost annually. Do need a link.
