The Clippers announced the waiver of Broome, who was acquired this summer in a trade; his release lowers LA's big-man options and creates another open roster decision before guaranteed dates.

Johni Broome, a 2025 second-round pick, was waived by the Clippers.
The move trims the Clippers' roster as they approach the start of the season.
LA will owe Broome his guaranteed $2.15 million for 2026-27 unless another team claims him on waivers.
Broome appeared in 11 NBA games as a rookie and was more productive in the G League.
The Clippers now face thinner center/frontcourt options; another roster move (likely involving Cam Christie or a trade) is expected before guarantees lock.
Broome's non-guaranteed future seasons were not guaranteed; only this season's salary is guaranteed per the report.
