Jerry West has agreed to return to the LA Clippers next season to continue his work as special consultant to the team's front office, the LA Times reported Tuesday.
West returns to the Clippers ahead of a pivotal summer for the franchise, which hopes to use its cap space to sign at least one of the several big name free agents available this offseason.
The longtime NBA executive and Lakers Hall-of-Fame guard joined the Clippers in June 2017 after leaving a similar role with the Golden State Warriors. He joined the Warriors in 2011, helping guide the team to two NBA titles during his tenure.
