3:25pm: The Clippers wasted little time in filling their open roster spot, announcing that they’ve re-signed free agent guard Elijah Harkless, who was on an Exhibit 10 contract earlier this summer but was waived before camp began.
Harkless played for the Clips’ G League affiliate last season and will likely report back to the team this fall, but it looks like he’ll get a chance to spend some time with the NBA club and perhaps play in a preseason game before he heads to San Diego.
3:12pm: Camp invitee RayJ Dennis has been placed on waivers by the Clippers, the team announced today. The move leaves L.A. with 20 players under contract, one shy of the preseason limit.
Dennis signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Clippers last month after going undrafted out of Baylor in June. A fifth-year super-senior with the Bears in 2023/24, the 6’2″ point guard averaged 13.6 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.9 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game across 35 contests (all starts). His shooting line was .479/.328/.731.
Dennis went scoreless in 11 of minutes of action in the Clippers’ first preseason game on Saturday, then was the only one of 17 active players not to see the floor at all in the team’s second preseason contest on Tuesday.
Barring something unexpected, Dennis’ next stop will probably with the San Diego Clippers, L.A.’s G League affiliate. If he spends at least 60 days with San Diego, the rookie will receive an Exhibit 10 bonus worth $77.5K on top of his standard NBAGL salary.
