Yuki Kawamura Waived by Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers have waived guard Yuki Kawamura, ending his training camp bid for a roster spot. The 25-year-old signed an Exhibit 10 deal in August after averaging 8.2 points and 4.8 assists across five Summer League games with Indiana. Kawamura appeared in 18 games for Chicago last season, posting 3.4 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.8 rebounds in 11.6 minutes while shooting 32.7 percent from the field. His departure does little to change a Clippers backcourt led by Darius Garland and Kris Dunn, with rookie Keaton Wagler also competing for minutes. Kawamura could still continue his season in the G-League after being waived.

Blake Wesley Signing One-Year Deal with Clippers
Guard Blake Wesley is signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Jake Fischer. The former first-round pick heads to his third team in three seasons after averaging 4.8 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in a career-low 11.6 minutes across 31 games with Portland last season. Wesley also shot just 27.8 percent from three. Los Angeles already has Darius Garland and rookie Keaton Wagler leading a deep backcourt that includes Kris Dunn, Bradley Beal, and Max Strus. Wesley will have plenty of competition for playing time, leaving little reason to expect fantasy value unless injuries open the door.

Jason Preston Returns to Clippers on Exhibit 10 Deal
The Los Angeles Clippers signed guard Jason Preston to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Spotrac's Keith Smith. The 27-year-old returns after joining Los Angeles for camp last year before being waived in October. Preston later played 16 games for the G-League's San Diego Clippers, averaging 13.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.4 steals. He has yet to find the same success at the NBA level, averaging 2.5 points and 2.0 assists across 21 career games with the Clippers and Utah. Preston gets another chance to show he belongs in the NBA rotation, but for fantasy purposes, there still isn't much to chase unless his role grows beyond camp.

Hunter Sallis Signs Exhibit 10 Deal with Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers signed guard Hunter Sallis to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Spotrac's Keith Smith. The 23-year-old went undrafted out of Wake Forest in 2025 before beginning last season on a two-way deal with Philadelphia, where he appeared in seven NBA games. Sallis spent most of the year in the G-League, averaging 13.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across 36 games with Delaware and San Diego. The Exhibit 10 deal gives him another chance to impress in camp, though an NBA role remains a long shot. For now, Sallis is more of a name to keep in mind than someone to target, but a strong camp could put him in the mix for a bigger role.

Darius Garland Set to Run Clippers Offense
Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland enters 2026-27 positioned to run the offense for a full season, with Yahoo Sports' Kelly Iko writing that whatever optimism remains around the team starts there. Garland was still managing a lingering toe issue when he arrived from Cleveland in February, but he averaged 19.9 points and 6.4 assists in 19 games while helping L.A. reach the play-in tournament. Kawhi Leonard's expected move to Toronto leaves Garland with a clearer on-ball role, though Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick are expected back in the deal. Iko noted the Clippers ranked 23rd in three-point attempts last season, so Garland's creation should help shooters like Max Strus and Dick. If the toe cooperates, Garland has a strong fantasy setup built around points, assists, and threes.

Darius Garland Says He Is Back to 100 Percent
Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland says he is back to 100 percent after the injury that disrupted his last year in Cleveland and delayed his Clippers start. Speaking with HoopsHype at New Balance's Beantown Elite camp, Garland said the issue began as a bone bruise before worsening into torn ligaments that required reconstruction. He is now excited for a full training camp under Tyronn Lue and said he has discussed borrowing from Kyrie Irving's 2016 Finals role. Garland averaged 20.6 points, 6.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.8 threes in 2024-25, so a clean offseason makes him a strong bounce-back fantasy target.

Yuki Kawamura Joins Japan's Qualifier Squad
Los Angeles Clippers guard Yuki Kawamura was included on Japan's 17-man list for the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, joining new Clippers teammate Rui Hachimura ahead of the late-August window. Kawamura signed an Exhibit 10 deal with Los Angeles after playing Summer League with Indiana, so he still has to earn a regular-season roster spot. The 25-year-old averaged 3.4 points and 2.6 assists in 18 games for Chicago last season, then posted 18.7 points and 11.0 assists in 11 G-League games with Windy City. His passing is real, but with a crowded Clippers guard room, Kawamura remains off the fantasy radar.

Jalen Pickett Officially Signs Two-Way Deal with Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers officially signed guard Jalen Pickett to a two-way contract Wednesday, completing the deal that Michael Scotto of HoopsHype first reported last week. Pickett spent his first three NBA seasons with Denver after going 32nd overall in the 2023 draft, but the Nuggets declined his team option earlier this summer. The 26-year-old averaged 5.2 points, 2.3 assists, and 2.3 rebounds across 50 games last season, and his near-39 percent three-point shooting remains his best NBA selling point. Two-way status points more to depth than steady rotation minutes, especially with Darius Garland and lottery pick Keaton Wagler ahead of him in the Clippers backcourt. Pickett remains off the fantasy radar unless injuries open a real role.

Yuki Kawamura Lands Exhibit 10 Deal With Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers signed guard Yuki Kawamura to an Exhibit 10 contract, giving him another training camp opportunity after two limited NBA seasons. The 5-foot-8 guard spent last season with the Chicago Bulls, appearing in 18 games while averaging 3.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 11.6 minutes on 32.7 percent shooting. Kawamura also played for Indiana in the Las Vegas Summer League, including a 12-assist outing against New Orleans. The path to a roster spot remains narrow, as the Clippers already have all three two-way slots filled. Kawamura's passing keeps him interesting for organizational depth, but there is no fantasy value to chase.

Clippers Waive Two-Way Guard Sean Pedulla
The Los Angeles Clippers are waiving two-way guard Sean Pedulla, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Pedulla won G-League Rookie of the Year after averaging 23.6 points, 6.8 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals between the Rip City Remix and San Diego Clippers. He signed with the Clippers in February but logged only 31 NBA minutes, totaling 13 points on 5-for-15 shooting across seven appearances. The move comes after Los Angeles agreed to two-way deals with Jamarion Sharp and Jalen Pickett, while rookie Nick Martinelli is also in the two-way mix. Pedulla's G-League production keeps him on the fringe radar, but he needs a new landing spot and a real rotation path before mattering in fantasy.

The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a two-way contract with guard Jalen Pickett, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Pickett spent his first three NBA seasons with Denver after going 32nd in the 2023 draft, but the Nuggets declined his team option earlier this summer. The 26-year-old averaged 5.2 points, 2.3 assists, and 2.3 rebounds across 50 games last season, and his career 38.7 percent mark from three remains his best NBA selling point. A two-way deal limits his path behind a Clippers backcourt that includes Darius Garland and lottery pick Keaton Wagler, so Pickett has no redraft value unless injuries open real minutes.

Keaton Wagler Scores 26 Points as Clippers Outlast Minnesota
Los Angeles Clippers guard Keaton Wagler put up 26 points on 9-for-19 shooting in Friday's 128-120 overtime win over the Timberwolves, adding four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block over 28 minutes. The No. 5 pick ended his Vegas run on a high after a rocky debut of seven points on 1-for-7 shooting against Sacramento. The Illinois product bounced back with 23 points against Utah, and this game showed the on-ball creator the Clippers envisioned. His shooting stayed streaky, going 2-for-7 from deep here, but Wagler has a clearer path to early minutes than most rookies, with a chance to play alongside Darius Garland.

Keaton Wagler is Resting on Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Keaton Wagler (rest) won't suit up for Wednesday's Summer League contest against the Washington Wizards. The Clippers will give the rookie guard a break after he started in each of the first three games of the Summer League. He finished with 16 points, six rebounds, and four assists during Tuesday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been producing early on, as the Clippers are hopeful he can start alongside Darius Garland this season. His next chance to play will come on Friday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Keaton Wagler Scores 23 Points in Clippers Win
Los Angeles Clippers guard Keaton Wagler contributed 23 points, four assists, one rebound, and one steal across 28 minutes in Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Utah Jazz. The No. 5 overall pick bounced back from a quiet debut, shooting 6-for-16 from the field, 4-for-7 from three-point range, and 3-for-4 at the line. Los Angeles took control by outscoring Utah 42-18 in the third quarter, giving Wagler a much cleaner second-half runway. The shooting response was encouraging, but he still needs more efficient shot creation to strengthen his early fantasy case.

Keaton Wagler Held to Seven Points in Clippers Debut
Los Angeles Clippers guard Keaton Wagler finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, and one three-pointer in Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to the Sacramento Kings. The No. 5 overall pick had a rough first outing, shooting just 1-for-7 from the field while Sacramento's pressure kept him from finding much rhythm. Wagler's fantasy appeal is still tied to his shooting and playmaking after a strong freshman season at Illinois, but this was a reminder that efficiency and physicality could be early hurdles. He will look to respond Sunday against Utah.
