What happened: The LA Clippers have waived Johni Broome. Broome was acquired by the franchise in July along with a 2027 second-round pick in exchange for cash.
Why it matters: The transaction leaves the Clippers with 15 guaranteed standard contracts for the upcoming season. The franchise clears his salary while retaining the draft capital from the prior trade.
What to watch: The roster calculus now centers on Cam Christie, who faces a mid-October guarantee date.
