According to a source, free agency guard Elijah Harkless will sign an Exhibit 10 deal with the Clippers.
Harkless was undrafted in 2023 after five years of collegiate basketball at three different colleges (Cal State Northridge, Oklahoma, and UNLV). As Murray points out, Harkless just played for the Clippers in Summer League competition.
The 24-year-old played his first professional season with the Clippers’ NBA G League franchise in Ontario, California. In 27 Showcase Cup and regular season games, he averaged 11.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.0 steals on.493/.419/.750 shooting (20.7 MPG).
Non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contracts can be converted to two-way contracts, and the Clippers currently have a two-way opening. They can also guarantee a player a bonus of up to $77.5K if he is waived before the regular season begins and spends at least 60 days with his club’s G League affiliate.
