Forward Terry Larrier has agreed to a training-camp contract with the LA Clippers, according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic.
Larrier went undrafted out of UCONN last year. The 6-foot-8 played subsequently played in Summer League with the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks, earning an invite to Dallas' training camp prior to being cut due to an ankle injury. He briefly played for the San Antonio Spurs at Summer League this season.
The Clippers emerged as one of the league's most pleasant surprises in 2018-19 after most expected them to be an afterthought coming into the season. Despite moving Tobias Harris, arguably its best player, to the Philadelphia 76ers at the trade deadline, LA re-grouped over the last two months of the regular season to be the last team standing at the bottom of the Western Conference playoff race.
It was in the first round of the playoffs where the underdog Clippers caught the basketball world's imagination, pushing the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors to a hard-fought six-game series. Golden State, it bears mentioning, had an easier time dispatching of the Portland Trail Blazers and even Houston Rockets than it did LA, despite the fact that Kevin Durant played the entirety of the first round, staking his claim as the league's best player before going down with a calf injury against the Rockets one round later.
The Clippers enter 2019-20 as surefire title contenders after adding Kawhi Leonard in free agency and simultaneously trading for Paul George, pulling off the biggest coup of the summer.
