NBA: Knicks adding Jordan Clarkson — reports
Clarkson, four years removed from being selected the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, played just 37 games (nine starts) last season. He missed the final 10 games because of a medical procedure designed to alleviate plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
The 33-year-old guard averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds in the 2024-25 season. He shot a career-low 40.8 percent from the floor.
Clarkson was part of the 2017-18 Cleveland Cavaliers team that reached the NBA Finals before getting swept by the Golden State Warriors.
A second-round draft pick of the Washington Wizards in 2014, Clarkson was immediately dealt to the Lakers. He played 3 1/2 seasons in Los Angeles, then parts of three seasons in Cleveland before he was traded to Utah in December 2019.
In 753 games (231 starts), Clarkson owns NBA averages of 16.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists. —Field Level Media/Reuters

NBA: Brook Lopez agreed to two-year deal with Clippers — reports
Lopez, 37, is a veteran of 17 seasons with the last seven coming for the Milwaukee Bucks. He was a member of the Bucks' team that won the 2021 NBA Finals./Geoff Burke-Imagn Images/REUTERS Veteran big man Brook Lopez has agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to multiple reports on Monday. Lopez, 37, is a veteran of 17 seasons with the last seven coming for the Milwaukee Bucks. He was a member of the Bucks' team that won the 2021 NBA Finals. Lopez averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots in 80 games last season. Lopez spent his first nine seasons with the Nets and was an All-Star for Brooklyn in the 2012-13 season. He spent the 2017-18 season with the Los Angeles Lakers before joining the Bucks as a free agent. Lopez has career averages of 15.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots in 1,105 games (1,065 starts). He also has made 1,075 3-pointers. The Bucks could be a franchise about to retool as star Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn't yet indicated whether he wants to remain with the franchise. In addition, Damian Lillard will miss most of the season and possibly all of it after sustaining a torn Achilles tendon injury during the playoffs. — Field Level Media/Reuters

NBA: Jazz, Jordan Clarkson near buyout deal — reports

(Photo: Chris Nicoll-Imagn Images/REUTERS) Jordan Clarkson and the Utah Jazz are nearing a buyout agreement that would make the volume-scoring reserve guard an unrestricted free agent, ESPN reported Monday hours before free agency officially began. The NBA's 2020-21 Sixth Man of the Year averaged 16.2 points and 3.7 assists per game last season, his sixth with the Jazz. ESPN reported Clarkson is only interested in playing for playoff contenders after making the postseason only four times (43 games) in his 11-year career. That includes the 2018 NBA Finals with Cleveland, when he was on the wrong end of a sweep at the hands of the Golden State Warriors on a roster that featured LeBron James and Kevin Love. James, who opted into the 2025-26 season on his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Clarkson remain on good terms. Clarkson, drafted by the Wizards and traded to the Lakers in 2014, has eight seasons with a scoring average of 15.5 points per game or above, including all six seasons in Utah. In 753 career games with the Lakers, Cavaliers and Jazz, Clarkson has averaged 16 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. He has drilled 1,402 3-pointers in 4,169 attempts (33.6 percent). He ranks 32nd among active NBA players in 3-pointers. — Field Level Media/Reuters
