Los Angeles Clippers waive three players

The Los Angeles Clippers have waived TyTy Washington Jr., Zach Freemantle and Taylor Funk, according to the NBA.com transaction log.

Washington was signed in early August to an Exhibit 10 deal, and it was subsequently reported that he received the maximum Exhibit 10 bonus of $85,300 in the deal, which pointed to him ending up with the team’s G League affiliate in San Diego if he didn’t get converted into a two-way deal.

Washington, the 29th pick in the 2022 draft, has played for the Rockets, Bucks, and Suns in his three years in the NBA, holding career averages of 3.3 points and 1.2 assists in 10.5 minutes per game. Still just 23 years old, the 6’3″ guard out of Kentucky has struggled to find consistency with his shot in limited minutes, though he has shot well in the G League.

The Clippers signed Freemantle on September 10 to an Exhibit 10 deal as the 21st member of the team’s offseason roster. Freemantle previously played five seasons at Xavier, posting averages of 16.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in his age-24 season before going undrafted in the 2025 draft.

The signing of Funk had not been previously reported, which would indicate that he was offered a sign-and-waive deal in order to keep him with the team’s G League affiliate.

The 27-year-old forward was a six-year collegiate player, spending five years with St. Joseph’s before ending his career with Utah State. He averaged 13.4 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 37% from three and 90% from the free throw line in his final season. He was previously signed and waived by the Celtics in 2023 and the Wizards in 2024.

All three players will be eligible for their bonuses if they stay with the San Diego Clippers for 60 days or more.
