Knicks center Mitchell Robinson ($1.8 million), Clippers guard Terance Mann ($1.8 million) and Rockets guard Kenyon Martin Jr. ($1.5 million) all saw their 2021-22 salaries become fully guaranteed on Sunday, Bobby Marks of ESPN tweets.
Robinson had his team option picked up by the club on Saturday, but his salary for next season didn’t guarantee until Sunday. The 23-year-old center played only 31 games for the Knicks this season, averaging 8.3 points and 8.1 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per contest.
Mann, 24, showed flashes of potential with the Clippers this past season. He was Los Angeles' No. 48 pick in 2019 and averaged seven points per game in 2020-21, shooting 51% from the floor and 42% from three-point range.
Martin, a 20-year-old swingman, was selected by the Kings on behalf of the Rockets with the No. 52 pick in last year’s November draft, then signed a four-year contract with Houston. His $1.78 million salary in 2022-23 remains non-guaranteed, while he also has a team option worth $1.93 million for 2023-24.
Both Robinson and Mann are also extension-eligible with their respected clubs, Marks notes.
