In a bit of surprise, it was reported today by Andrew Greif of the L.A. Times that the Clippers will not be picking up their team option for the third year of Mfiondu Kabengele’s contract. Today was the final day for the Clippers to make the decision on last year’s first-round pick. Since they declined to exercise the option, Kabengele will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
The Clippers are not picking up their third-year option on center Mfiondu Kabengele. Today was the deadline to make a decision. Kabengele was the 27th pick in the 2019 draft.
