Clippers Sign 7‑Foot‑5 Jamarion Sharp

The two‑way deal gives Los Angeles a towering rim protector to shore up frontcourt depth.

Overview

  • The Clippers announced on Monday that they signed center Jamarion Sharp to a one‑year two‑way contract that will let him split time between the NBA club and its G League affiliate.
  • Sharp is listed at 7‑foot‑5, which places him above Victor Wembanyama on official rosters and makes him the tallest active player on an NBA roster after the signing.
  • Sharp earned the 2025–26 NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year award after leading the league in blocks, averaging roughly 3.8–3.9 blocks per game while with the Texas Legends.
  • Media reports list limited financial terms for the deal and note that a two‑way contract does not guarantee regular NBA minutes, so Sharp is likely to continue significant G League play as he competes for Clippers minutes.
  • Some outlets published a 2024 aggravated assault charge tied to Sharp that public records do not clearly resolve, and coverage of that matter is limited and unconfirmed by official sources.
