Clippers Waive Preston, Baldwin Jr. and Washington, Convert Jahmyl Telfort to Two-Way
The moves reflect the Clippers' proximity to the hard cap.
Overview
- Law Murray reported the planned transactions on Oct. 18, with Shams Charania first identifying Jahmyl Telfort for the open two-way slot.
- The team is expected to open the season with 14 players on standard contracts and three on two-way deals once the moves are official.
- Jason Preston, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and TyTy Washington Jr. were on Exhibit 10 contracts and can earn about $85,300 if they join the San Diego affiliate for 60 days.
- Undrafted out of Butler, Telfort secured the two-way after impressing the Clippers with awareness, defensive effort, versatility and toughness despite modest preseason minutes.
- The two-way opening was created earlier this week when Trentyn Flowers was waived.
