The Los Angeles Clippers are converting the contract of rookie guard Kobe Sanders from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract, according to league sources per Chris Haynes.
The move rewards the rookie guard for his recent performance and officially elevates him to the Clippers' 15-man roster. By transitioning from a two-way agreement to a standard NBA contract, Sanders gains increased job security and becomes eligible for the team's postseason roster. The Clippers originally signed the guard to a two-way deal following his collegiate career, and he has since impressed the coaching staff enough to earn a permanent spot on the main squad.
This transaction allows the Los Angeles Clippers to solidify their backcourt depth as they move further into the season. Specific terms of the new multi-year or rest-of-season agreement have not yet been made public by the organization. Sanders will now occupy one of the team's open standard roster spots, leaving a two-way slot vacant for the front office to potentially fill in the coming days.
