US EditionNicolas Batum Will Sign 2-Year Deal to Return to Clippers
- Last week, Nicolas Batum re-signed with the LA Clippers on a two-year, $11.5 million contract featuring a team option and trade kicker.
- Following his decision to decline a $4.9 million player option, Batum became a free agent but aimed to return to the Clippers, the team he credits with saving his career.
- During last season’s postseason, Batum averaged 1.7 blocks per game, shot 43.7% from the field and 43.3% from three, with 4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
- Batum's return strengthens veteran depth, potentially influences Harden's re-signing, and leaves open the possibility of extending his career beyond 2025/26.
- Batum's contract, using Non-Bird rights, allows potential extension beyond 2025/26, enabling him to pursue passing Peja Stojaković for second-most three-pointers by a European.
