MANILA, Philippines — The Los Angeles Clippers on Friday confirmed the signing of John Wall, a five-time All-Star guard.
The Clippers did not reveal details of the agreement, but Klutch Sports Group, which represents Wall, announced last week that the deal is worth $13.2 million over two years.
Wall, 31, recently agreed to a $6.5 million buyout with the Houston Rockets. Although under contract with Houston last season, the 6-foot-3 veteran did not play a game.
Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank called Wall, 31, “one of the great downhill drivers and shot creators of his era. He will add depth to our backcourt with his initiating, passing and point-of-attack defense.”
Last season, the Clippers failed to qualify for the playoffs, finishing with the eighth-best record in the Western Conference (42-40) but losing twice in the play-in competition.
