Former Suns Guard TyTy Washington Jr. Signs One-Year Deal with Clippers

TyTy Washington Jr., a Phoenix native and former first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, has signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers after spending the 2024-25 season with the Phoenix Suns. Washington played 16 games for the Suns, averaging 2.2 points and 1.0 assists in limited minutes, while excelling in the G League with the Valley Suns, where he averaged over 22 points and 7 assists per game. Despite his strong G League performances, Washington has struggled to secure a consistent role in the NBA, having appeared in just 58 games across three seasons with the Rockets, Bucks, and Suns. The Clippers deal is likely a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract due to salary cap constraints and Washington could compete for a two-way roster spot or play for the San Diego Clippers in the G League. With the Suns adding new guards Jared Butler and Jordan Goodwin, Washington’s return to Phoenix was unlikely, making this move a fresh opportunity for the 23-year-old guard to establish himself in the league. Washington’s journey reflects a young player seeking to capitalize on his potential at the next level.
