Blazers’ Donovan Clingan Signs Rookie Scale Contract

Center Donovan Clingan, the No. 7 overall pick of last month’s draft, has officially signed his rookie scale contract, the Trail Blazers announced in a press release.

Assuming he signed for 120% of the rookie scale, which most first-rounders do, Clingan will earn $6,836,400 in 2024/25 and $31,085,018 over the next four seasons if his team options for years three and four are exercised.

Clingan, 20, is a native of Bristol, Connecticut. He won back-to-back national championships with UConn in his two college seasons. He averaged 13.0 PPG, 7.4 RPG and 2.5 BPG in 35 games last season for the Huskies (22.5 MPG).
