Report: Clippers sign Lopez to 2-year, $18M deal

Brook Lopez agreed to a two-year, $18-million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Lopez's signing comes out of the $14.1-million non-taxpayer mid-level exceptions, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Lopez spent the last seven seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, developing into an elite floor-spacing big man and rim-protector. The former top-10 pick is the only player in NBA history with 2000 career blocks and 1000 triples.

Lopez played a key role on the Bucks' 2021 championship squad. He averaged 13 points, five boards, 1.9 blocks, and 1.8 assists across 80 appearances in 2024-25.

The 37-year-old is expected to back up starting center Ivica Zubac.
