3 Returning to Bucks, but Brook Lopez Signs with Clippers, ESPN Reports

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 1 – Brook Lopez returns home to Los Angeles with a two-year, $18 million contract to back up Ivica Zubac, providing rim protection and three-point shooting for the Clippers.

  • On Monday, Brooklyn Lopez signed a two-year, $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
  • The Clippers used their $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception to sign Lopez, providing depth behind Ivica Zubac with championship experience and floor-spacing ability.
  • Lopez averaged 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and shot 37.3% from three last season, exemplifying his modern 3-and-D center skills and elite rim protection.
  • The Clippers' signing of Lopez boosts their depth and postseason experience, while Lopez's departure significantly weakens the Bucks' frontcourt amid ongoing challenges.
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Bucks appears uncertain as he awaits offseason developments following Lopez's departure, potentially signaling a franchise rebuild.
