Signed, signed! The first-round rookie joins the Clippers! He scored 53 points in the G League.

Insider Shams reports: TyTy Washington has agreed to a one-year contract with the Clippers.

TyTy was born on November 15, 2001, stands 6'3", plays as a guard, was the 29th pick in the first round of the 2022 draft, and last season played for the Suns, participating in 16 regular-season games, averaging 7.4 minutes, 2.2 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 1 assist, with shooting percentages of 31.1%, 19%, and 50%.

Despite his somewhat lackluster performance last season, TyTy was a dominant force in the G League, playing 32 games for the Valley Vipers,averaging 21.7 points and 7.4 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.4%. He also once scored an impressive 53 points along with 10 rebounds and 4 assists during a G League game for the Rockets.

Notably, according to team reporter Murray, since the Clippers already have 14 standard contracts and have filled their three two-way contract spots, it’s likely that TyTy’s contract will be an Exhibit 10 deal, which is a non-guaranteed training camp contract. The benefit is that even if he gets cut, he can still play for the team's G League affiliate for at least 60 days and qualify for an $85,300 bonus.

Regardless, the addition of 23-year-old TyTy helps lower the average age of the Clippers; before his signing,the primary 11-man rotation averaged 32.7 years old, with 8 players over 30, and 4 of them being 35 or older.

In summary, after a series of reinforcements this summer, the Clippers’ current roster looks impressive, but age is a significant concern. Historically, veteran teams have struggled to dominate the league; hopefully, this aging super team can defy the odds, as many of its members will be making their final push for a championship.

Especially 40-year-old Chris Paul, who has confirmed that the 2025-26 season will be his last as a player. Whether or not he wins a championship next year, it will mark the end of his professional career.

The latest championship odds for the Western Conference in the 2025-26 season show that the Clippers are tied for third with the Timberwolves and Lakers, with the Thunder and Rockets/Nuggets leading the pack. The Warriors are ranked fourth, the Mavericks fifth, the Spurs sixth, and the Grizzlies seventh.
