What happened: Bogdan Bogdanovic posted a farewell message to the Clippers and to "The Swell," marking the end of his time with the team. The send-off comes after Los Angeles declined his option and moved on with Brook Lopez retained instead.

Why it matters: The goodbye formalizes a transition already in motion: Bogdanovic agreed to a one-year deal with the Rockets after the Clippers chose to keep Lopez over him. Houston adds a veteran wing shooter as it reshapes its rotation heading into 2026-27.

What to watch: Bogdanovic is expected to join the Rockets for training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season.
