Spurs’ Wembanyama won’t play in season finale

The Los Angeles Clippers have acquired Kris Dunn in a sign-and-trade with the Utah Jazz as they send out Russell Westbrook, a second round pick swap and cash. Westbrook will agree to a buyout with the Jazz for the second time in two years and then join the Denver Nuggets.

Dunn will join the Clippers on a three-year, $17 million deal. Dunn, who is represented by Bernie Lee, averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 18.9 minutes over 66 games last season with the Jazz.

Westbrook, who is now represented by Jeff Schwartz after parting ways with his longtime agent Thad Foucher in 2022, averaged 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 22.5 minutes over 68 games with the Clippers last season. Westbrook’s closest tie on the Clippers was Paul George, who also exited the team this offseason. Westbrook picked up his $4 million option with the Clippers to bypass free agency last month.

After the Clippers were eliminated from the playoffs, a report surfaced that Westbrook had interest in leaving the franchise for a bigger opportunity next season. Westbrook and Nikola Jokic have long had interest in playing with each other.

The Memphis Grizzlies signing Jordan Goodwin to a two-way contract. To make room for Goodwin, the Grizzlies are going to waive Jacob Gilyard from his two-way deal.

The Grizzlies are continuing to shuffle spots at the end of their injury-ravaged roster.

Gilyard has played well for Memphis, but he’s maximized his allowable games on his two-way deal. Two-way players are only allowed to be active for up to 50 NBA games per season. Gilyard averaged 4.7 points and 3.5 assists, while shooting 42.5% on three-pointers in 37 games for the Grizzlies this season.

Goodwin just completed a 10-day deal with the Grizzlies. Goodwin should have 15 available NBA games on a prorated NBA deal.
