The Clippers will sign point guard TyTy Washington Jr. to a two-way contract, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link). The team will waive two-way point guard RayJ Dennis to create an opening, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Washington, 24, inked a training camp deal with the team this summer, but was waived before the start of the season. He has been playing with L.A.’s G League affiliate in San Diego, where he’s averaging 17.9 points, 5.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 46.5% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range.
Washington was selected with the 29th pick in the 2022 draft, but he hasn’t been able to find a consistent NBA home. After spending his rookie season with Houston, he was traded to Atlanta in the summer of 2023 and then shipped to Oklahoma City four days later. After being waived by OKC, he signed a two-way contract with Milwaukee in August of 2023 and a two-way deal with Phoenix in August of 2024.
Washington has appeared in 58 total games with the Rockets, Bucks and Suns and has spent time in the G League in each of the last four seasons.
Dennis, 24, signed a two-way contract with the Clippers on December 4, four days after being waived by Indiana. He made just one four-minute appearance for L.A. Dennis joined the Pacers on a two-way deal in January and got into 24 total games.
