What happened: The Los Angeles Clippers have added Nick Martinelli, a 6-foot-7 forward out of Northwestern. The team confirmed the addition as it fills out the back end of its roster heading into the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: Martinelli joins a Clippers group that has been active this offseason, following the Clippers' move for the Northwestern forward. Depth wings and forwards give the coaching staff more flexibility as Los Angeles shapes its rotation for the coming campaign.

What to watch: Watch for how Martinelli is deployed in summer and training-camp settings, and whether the deal is a standard or two-way arrangement.
