Clippers reserves Austin Rivers and Wesley Johnson will decline their options to return to Los Angeles, so they will become free agents July, 1.
That does not mean Rivers and Johnson will not both return to Los Angeles. However, it means the Clippers will have to negotiate terms with the pending unrestricted free agents like all the other teams in the association.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that Rivers would not pick up his option.
Rivers averaged 8.9 points and 1.5 assists as the Clippers backup. More impressively, Rivers earned the reputation as a relentless defender off the bench.
