The Clippers have finished filling out their preseason roster, and two of the names on the list were already familiar.
L.A.’s training camp group announced Monday includes Blake Wesley and Fletcher Loyer, both of whom had been reported earlier as contract additions. Wesley, the 2022 first-round pick, is still only 23 but already brings four seasons of NBA experience after three years in San Antonio and a stint with Portland in 2025/26.
Loyer arrives as the kind of low-risk shooting bet teams love to take this time of year. The former Purdue guard went undrafted, then agreed to join the Clippers in June. Over four seasons with the Boilermakers, he knocked down 309 threes, led the Big 10 in three-point percentage last season at 43.2%, and shot 41.1% from deep for his college career.
Hoops Rumors confirmed that both Wesley and Loyer are on non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contracts. If either is waived before the season and then spends at least 60 days with the San Diego Clippers, the player can earn a bonus worth $91K.
With those moves in place, the Clippers now have a full 21-man preseason roster.
Elsewhere, the Kings also rounded out their camp group by signing center Viktor Lakhin and guard Sean East II to training camp contracts, according to tweets from James Ham of The Kings Beat. Both players seem headed for the G League with the Stockton Kings, who picked up their returning rights in a six-team trade in August.
Lakhin averaged 10.3 points and 7.1 rebounds in 31 games for the Oklahoma City Blue last season. East posted 18.6 points and 5.5 assists across 50 appearances for the Salt Lake City Stars.
Portland made one more camp move on Tuesday, finalizing its previously reported training camp deal with Korean forward Hyunjung Lee, according to Joe Freeman of The Oregonian. Freeman confirmed it is an Exhibit 10 agreement, and Lee is set to join the Blazers after earlier stops at Davidson and overseas runs in Australia and Japan.

Branden Carlson Is Already Forcing His Way Into The Blazers Conversation
The Trail Blazers opened their first practice of the season with a few names already standing out, and Branden Carlson was among the most noticeable. The center brought strong offensive rebounding and plenty of energy to the floor, the kind of early workload that can help a player get noticed fast in camp, especially when the team is still sorting through what its rotation in the middle might look like.
Carlsons push comes at an interesting time for Portland, which is taking a hard look at its frontcourt depth while also tracking other camp themes like Toumani Camaras perimeter defense and Scoot Hendersons pace. The Blazers have options in the middle, and that makes every practice rep matter as they try to narrow down who fits where and how much room there really is for another big to break into the conversation.

Scoot Henderson Just Entered A Crucial Season For The Blazers
Scoot Henderson came into the Trail Blazers 2026-27 media day with a different kind of spotlight than he had in his earlier seasons. The attention around him was quieter, but the message from the organization was clear enough: general manager Joe Cronin and head coach Micah Nori both sounded encouraged by where Henderson is in his development and by the way he finished last season.
This is shaping up to be an important camp for Henderson, who is expected to have a significant role in setting the tone early while also likely seeing fewer minutes once the season starts. With restricted free agency looming in 2027, his place in Portlands plans carries a little extra weight now, and the Blazers will be watching closely to see how he handles the next step.

Blazers Suddenly Have A Ja Morant Question They Cant Ignore
At Portland Trail Blazers media day, the backcourt picture was already looking crowded before the season even tips off. Micah Nori addressed a guard rotation that features Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday, and said the staff can get creative with how it fits the pieces together, including using Holiday more at forward to help manage minutes and keep the lineup flexible.
Morant added another layer to the conversation by making it clear his priority is winning, regardless of whether he starts or not. Nori acknowledged the possibility of Morant coming off the bench, which is the kind of rotation wrinkle that can shape a season long before the games start to matter. The Blazers may spend plenty of the early months experimenting with roles, and this one feels destined to be one of the bigger decisions they keep revisiting. [Read more 🡒]
