Kobe Sanders spent his final season of college basketball at Nevada.

The 23-year-old finished the year with averages of 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 46.0% from the field and 34.2% from the three-point range in 33 games.

Last month, Sanders was selected with the 50th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

It's now been reported that he has signed with the LA Clippers on a two-way deal.

Sanders was an All-Mountain West selection for Nevada, averaging 15.8 points, 4.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game."

Sanders is a talented scorer, so he will be an intriguing addition to the Clippers (and their G League team) for the 2025-26 season.
