Clippers let Bogdanovic walk into free agency

The Los Angeles Clippers have declined the $16 million team option on Bogdan Bogdanovic’s contract, officially making the Serbian veteran an unrestricted free agent. Bogdanovic appeared in just 23 games last season under Tyronn Lue, averaging 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 19.7 minutes, struggling to find rhythm after joining the franchise mid‑cycle.

Before arriving in Los Angeles, Bogdanovic had signed a four‑year, $68 million extension with the Atlanta Hawks in March 2023, a deal that underscored his value as a reliable scorer and secondary playmaker. His limited role and injuries with the Clippers, however, contributed to the team’s decision to move on.

By declining the option, the Clippers free up financial flexibility while Bogdanovic gains the chance to explore opportunities across the league during the upcoming offseason. His shooting and experience are expected to draw interest from teams seeking veteran depth on the perimeter.
