Free agent Kobe Sanders, who earned a spot in the Clippers\u2019 starting lineup last season, agreed to a four-year, $11 million deal to return to the team on Tuesday, according to a team source.<\/p>\n

In addition to locking down Sanders, the Clippers are expected to guarantee guard Kris Dunn\u2019s $5.7 million contract for the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

The two moves come on the same day the Clippers agreed to send All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for forward Brandon Ingram and other compensation.<\/p>\n

Sanders\u2019 deal is slightly above his minimum salary and uses the Clippers\u2019 non-Bird rights to guarantee the first year.<\/p>\n

A second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, he averaged 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists while shooting 46.6% from the field over 68 games (16 starts) as a rookie. His shooting efficiency and defensive instincts made him a permanent fixture in the Clippers\u2019 rotation<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-8 wing initially signed a two-way contract with the Clippers, but that was converted to a standard deal in February.<\/p>\n

Coach Tyronn Lue said during the season that he supported Dunn getting a guaranteed deal. A defensive standout, he averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals over 82 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s gonna be guaranteed regardless. \u2026 As long as I\u2019m here, I want KD,\u201d Lue said when asked about Dunn\u2019s incentive to earn a guaranteed deal if he made the All-Defensive team.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Dunn is currently on a three-year, $16.2 million deal that he signed in 2024 as part of a sign-and-trade with the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n
