3:25 PM: The Clippers swiftly filled their open roster spot by re-signing free agent guard Elijah Harkless, who had previously signed an Exhibit 10 contract but was waived before training camp began. Harkless played for the Clippers’ G League affiliate last season and is expected to join the team again this fall. He may get the opportunity to participate in a preseason game with the NBA squad before heading to San Diego.
3:12 PM: The Clippers have placed camp invitee RayJ Dennis on waivers, leaving the team with 20 players under contract, just one shy of the preseason limit. Dennis signed an Exhibit 10 contract after going undrafted out of Baylor in June. As a fifth-year super-senior, he averaged 13.6 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game over 35 starts during the 2023-24 season, with shooting percentages of .479 from the field, .328 from three-point range, and .731 from the free-throw line.
In the Clippers’ first preseason game, Dennis went scoreless in 11 minutes, and in the second game, he was the only active player out of 17 who didn’t see any playing time. Unless there’s an unexpected turn of events, Dennis is likely headed to the San Diego Clippers, the team’s G League affiliate. If he spends at least 60 days with San Diego, he could earn an Exhibit 10 bonus of $77,500 in addition to his standard G League salary.
