Mann signs extension with Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers signed Terrence Mann to a three-year, $47 million extension on Monday, ESPN reported.
Mann was an under-the-radar player when he was drafted. He was selected by the Clippers 파워볼실시간 in the mid-to-late second round, 48th overall.
But after making a name for himself as a backup, Mann gradually earned his way into the starting lineup, starting 71 of 75 games last season, averaging 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and shooting 51.5 percent from the field.
While his stats don’t stand out, his versatility makes him a valuable contributor to the team. He’s a solid defender and can attack the rim. The Clippers tried to keep Mann when they traded James Harden, and for good reason.
This extension also shows the team’s expectations for Mann. It’s a long-term deal with all $47 million guaranteed. According to ESPN, the Clippers have focused on younger, more athletic players since Paul George’s departure.
The Clippers with George gone, with Kawhi Leonard still not free of injury issues. With James Harden also an aging veteran, Mann’s role in the backcourt will be crucial.
“I’m very excited to re-sign with a team that’s been with me since the beginning, I’ve had a great five seasons with this organization and I’m excited to see what the future holds,” Mann said after signing the extension.
