According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Clippers have agreed on terms with Jamarion Sharp via a two-way deal.
Clippers sign G League Defensive Player of the Year Jamarion Sharp
Jamarion Sharp went undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft, but was subsequently picked up by the Dallas Mavericks to play for their G League team.
Standing at 7-foot-5, Sharp earned G League’s All-Defensive team honors from the past season for the Texas Legends and was named the Defensive Player of the Year after leading the league with 4.1 blocks per game.
The 24-year-old made a brief stint overseas afterwards in Puerto Rico for Vaqueros de Bayamon of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional.
Playing for the Toronto Raptors at the previous Las Vegas Summer League this month, Sharp averaged 7.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks in just 18.2 minutes per game across five appearances.
As Yanic Konan Niederhauser still needs more time to recover from his foot surgery, Sharp gives the Clippers an additional big man option.
Sharp will join Sean Pedulla and Nick Martinelli in filling the Clippers' two-way slots.
