The Los Angeles Clippers agreed to a one-year deal with guard TyTy Washington Jr., according to ESPN.
Washington was a first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft with his draft rights being acquired by the Houston Rockets. For his career, he is averaging 3.3 points and 1.2 assists per game, while shooting 34.7 percent from the field.
As a rookie, Washington appeared in 31 games for the Rockets, averaging a meager 14.0 minutes.
Following the season, Washington was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, then traded again to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder waived him, and he signed a two-way deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
In 2023-24, Washington appeared in only 11 games for Milwaukee, logging 56 total minutes.
During the offseason, Washington was on the move, once again, signing a two-way deal with the Phoenix Suns, who also played him sparingly.
On the surface, Washington’s numbers are alarming. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old has never gotten the opportunity to play a significant role in the NBA. He will look to make the team’s final roster and develop behind future Hall of Fame guards James Harden and Chris Paul.
