The Clippers did not reveal details of the
agreement, but Klutch Sports Group, which represents Wall,
announced last week that the deal is worth $13.2 million over
two years.
Wall, 31, recently agreed to a $6.5 million buyout with the
Houston Rockets. Although under contract with Houston last
season, the 6-foot-3 veteran did not play a game.
Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank
called Wall, 31, "one of the great downhill drivers and shot
creators of his era. He will add depth to our backcourt with his
initiating, passing and point-of-attack defense."
Last season, the Clippers failed to qualify for the playoffs,
finishing with the eighth-best record in the Western Conference
(42-40) but losing twice in the play-in competition.
Wall, who played his college ball at the Kentucky, was the first
overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, chosen by the Washington
Wizards. His career has been marked by frequent injuries. He did
not play in the 2019-20 season due to an infection that
developed from an operation on his left heel.
Wall has appeared in 613 career games (601 starts) and averaged
19.1 points, 9.1 assists and 4.3 rebounds over nine active
seasons with Washington and one with Houston. He has averaged
21.9 points, 9.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.1
blocks in 37 playoff games.
