The Clippers intend to open up a two-way contract slot on their roster ahead of training camp by waiving center Jamarion Sharp, reports Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report and The Stein Line (Twitter link).

Sharp, 25, went undrafted out of Ole Miss in 2024 and has played primarily for the Texas Legends in the G League since then. The 7’5″ big man had a huge year for the Legends in 2025/26, earning a spot on the G League’s All-Defensive team and being named NBAGL Defensive Player of the Year after leading the league with 3.9 blocks per game.

An elite rim protector in both the G League and in college, Sharp led the NCAA in blocked shots in 2021/22 (4.6 per game) and ’22/23 (4.1) while playing for Western Kentucky. Playing for the Raptors at the Las Vegas Summer League this July, he averaged 7.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks in just 18.2 minutes per game across five appearances. That performance helped earned him a two-way deal with the Clippers, which he signed in August.

However, the Clippers have decided they want to keep their third two-way slot open for the start of training camp, according to Fischer (Twitter link), who hears that the team isn’t currently pursuing anyone to replace Sharp. Former Nuggets guard Jalen Pickett and 2026 second-round pick Nick Martinelli currently hold the other two-way deals for L.A.

Assuming Sharp is officially waived on Friday and goes unclaimed this weekend, he’ll become an unrestricted free agent on Sunday.
